1) Mostly because I want to exploit everything that Linux offers - and I wish to move out of Gnome on Ubuntu.
2) It's mainly because I'm halfway through the alpha-launch of my web-startup, and have a little time to spare, which I want to use productively. I haven't been 'actively wasting time pondering over it' , it's more like 'been at the back of my mind' sort of a thing.
//edited: making my point more clear.
- greencookie 16y agoI used Archlinux a while back. That was back when i was still a Unix toddler (not that I've matured very well since then). I actually had fun with it. Try living out of a TTY for about a month. You will come out with rustic beard, red eyes and a triumphant smile. No Gnome or gdm, screen to take care of your "windows", mpd (ncmpc) to play your music, elinks to browse the web, surfraw to search, vi to edit your files, irssi for irc, bitlbee for msn etc. Control your daemons with rc.conf and begin your journey :)

- hardik988 16y agoWow, that's exhaustive! Can't wait to try out the terminal apps there. I really want to live in a TTY for some time now.
