Re: salix vs. arch
Both distributions are similar because they follow the KISS principle. And they *don't* split libraries and headers, which is a plus. The major difference is that while Salix offers a fully-functional Desktop environment out-of-the-box, while Arch offers a system from scratch. And by scratch I mean ...

Re: Fedora 17 - my impressions
