Personally I don't like debian because of how hard it is to crack to make changes Someone mentioned debian-testing, and I agree it gets updates more quickly which is great, and solves for half the problem However, when you want to make a change to one of those packages, it's probably going to take me a couple days of playing around with the dev tools to repackage it and install Archlinux's abstractions around this are really good. You download the ABS store, cd into your package and view the pkgbuild file. Once you have abs downloaded, you can edit it and install it like any other aur package Yes, I've built my own debs, yes I've built my own rpms; abs and aur are miles ahead in this regard
