   Good Question!   I guess what I am looking for is what I got from   
   FreeBSD...just a nice minimalist setup that I can build on, as opposed to say,   
   Ubuntu where you get too much and end up removing what you don't want.   
      
   This would be for a server-based system with minimal GUI (but still has X and   
   maybe WindowMaker for when I need it).   
      
   Now I like the idea of Arch's version of FreeBSD "ports."  ALthough Debian   
   promised something like that with apt-src and it is nowhere near ports.  I   
   haven't gotten to the point where I'Ve experienced Arch's version of "ports"   
   since the install left me with no networking and I need to start over...which   
   I'M not likely to do at this point.   
      
   I suppose I can build "upwards" from Ubuntu or debian "server" but I just   
   wanted to try something new I've heard lots of good things about.   
   The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
