I'm thinking of reverting to vanilla Debian, especially for</div><div>
my home server.</div><div>
<br></div><div>
Anybody using Arch Linux? I've heard good things, but I am a bit wedded to</div><div>
Debian's packaging system. What's pacman like? and does their package</div><div>
management really work.</div><div>
<br></div><div>
As far as I can see Mint is basically a rebadged Ubuntu - there are quite a</div><div>
few such distros. The dependance on Ubuntu is problematic. But I'd be happy</div><div>
for someone to convince me otherwise.</div><div>
<br></div><div>
Any other recommendations?</div><div>
<br></div><div>
Other than Fedora that is :-) Yes I know about Fedora.</div><div>

cheers</div><div>
