Fellow Debian Enthusiasts,
I'm teetering on the fence between Arch Linux and Debian Linux. So, I
thought I'd post an intro in hopes that someone will give me a gentle nudge
in the right direction. Forgive me if I ramble a bit.
I've been a Linux user for years. I started with Slackware in the 1.x
kernel days. I then used Makdrake for a while. For the past couple of
years I've been using Gentoo. But, a few things about Gentoo have been
getting on a couple of my nerves lately. This is further complicated due to
the fact that I used to work in food service, so I only have three nerves
left. Anyway, I've been trying various distributions under VMWare in search
of one that I like.
I had just about decided to go with Arch Linux. It's package management
system works well and it's ABS(Arch Build System) system makes it easy to
tweek existing packages and/or create new packages.
One package I use heavily is the Hercules mainframe emulator.
