Hey everyone

I wanted to try out a distro that isnt like ubuntu i.e. its not all done for me, i want a distro which when i install it i hav a pretty bare system to then install what i want - i had a go on arch linux but i just didnt have a gd experience with the forums and looking for help.

So was wondering what u guys suggest?? is gentoo sorta thing im looking for?

no arch doesnt have a live CD because arch itself is jus a bare bone install

Thanks for the help guys - i think ill have a little look into gentoo

I doubt ill have another crack at arch for the mean time - jus really didnt like the forums - really put me off.

Im very much into the idea of everyone helping each other with linux and open source software and jus didnt fit right there - but ill have a little look at gentoo

Im pretty interested in linux from scratch as well since on my course i am seriously considering building my own O/S so i might also hav a look at that over x-mas.

Anyway thanks again guys

well i just wanted it for bit of everything

Playing music and videos, programming and jus general use - but did want it to be bit faster than ubuntu

I havent bloated it up to be that bad

Its just the way ubuntu comes, first thing i do is strip out any un-wanted programs and install just what i want to use

Anyway im having trouble even using my laptop since ubuntu seems to keep on crashing a lot more than it has before
