arch linux, rolling binary releases reduce maintenance time.
what do you want a minimal os for?

another alternative is 9vx

and then tcere is the 9vx + Tiny Core linux distribution (Tvx)

Thanks, Andrei. Will give it a look. I've only ever heard it spoke it
in passing. Guess I should give it a run, just to see.

Hello Brandon,
I believe CRUX did have some influence on Arch but the latter has nothing to
do with CRUX. The difference consists in different package managers (pacman
vs pkgutils) although pacman is somewhat similar to CRUX's pkgutils,
ports-like package management, where one would download the s
Arch doesn't sign its packages, but I still use it, can't be bothered
switching to be honest.
Rob.
Wasn't CRUX the biggest influence on the creation of Arch? I could be
wrong. I haven't used it, though. What's the difference between it and
Arch? It's one of the distros one doesn't really hear much about, from
what I've seen.

evening,
I'd suggest CRUX, http://crux.nu - It doesn't do any hand holding and it has
a simple package manager similar to BSD ports.

You should try Lunar (lunar-linux.org) or SourceMage (sourcemage.org) then.
Those systems _are_ LFS with a couple of bash sc

I never had a computer that could run plan9 without a couple hundred
issues, so I still haven't been able to take the time to learn it,
unfortunately. I usually stick to Funtoo, Gentoo, or OpenBSD - if I'm
not using Windows 7 (I know, I know - this is the Suckless mailing
list ;D).
But that's me.

archlinux is just gentoo but less well maintained.
debian is a bloated monstrosity -- anyone
gentoo is as minimal as you can get or as complex as you want. you compile
everything locally, with the help of the portage repository (even the
kernel). it has been my closest experience to what i imagine "linux from
scratch" would be like.
also, the gentoo boards are the most active i have seen.

That what I want to do in coming days, having a minimal unix to do my
work and use remote resources. Just need to choose one :)
About that is there any good resource to learn plan9 ?

gentoo is really good for my desktops, very good for optimizing everything

I generally tend to go for Archlinux, because its pretty simple to set
up a very lightweight system right out of the box, and the rolling

Debian, every time. Now is a good time since they just released a new
"stable". Last stable I installed took 10MB of memory with a normal
non-gui boot, with bash loaded up and everything. Good enough for me.

I use OpenBSD. It can grow quickly if you want it to, and it can be
run on a VAX if you want it to.
What performance need do you have that makes OpenBSD not worth it?
When I am going to be throwing a system together without OpenBSD then
I tend to use Debian.
