Good to hear. I am shopping for another distro as well, and despite
everyone's fantastic suggestions I am being hard to please.
I was thinking of going back to gentoo, but was dreading compiling the large
packages. Arch was another distro I was looking at trying, but had
reservations. I may have to try it after all.
