    Meh. Trying other distros doesn't bother me now. I love Arch and a Debian netinstall and that's it. I can't see any other distro being better. I love minimalism and building up my own system, and to do that you need the best package managers - pacman or apt. Running a finely tuned Arch with LXDE at the moment, nothing is going to compete.
