Arch Linux. It's supported by Slicehost

• rkowalick 18y ago
  I LOVE Arch Linux. It is blazingly fast, even on old computers. My favorite part about it is it never does anything without you telling it to. You set up everything when you install it. You configure the installation, you pick the Desktop or WM. You set up the networking. They also have a really good package manager and AWESOME user repositories that have pretty much anything you would ever need. Honestly, I got into Linux because I wanted control over my computer. I started out with Ubuntu because everyone says it's a great place to start. I got fed up twiddling with GUI settings and undoing what Ubuntu had done. I installed Arch. It took a couple of hours, but at the end, I had a computer that I set up entirely. I knew everything I did and how to change anything should the need arise. Also, if you have an easily configurable internet connection, you can download the FTP install ISO which is all of 30MB and get up to date packages right from the start. Their user community is also fantastic. Check out www.archlinux.org for more info.
