The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions

And the reality of things breaking from time to time. The worst so far 
for me (having used Arch for only a year or so) was the Xorg 1.4 update 
which totally borked my ati setup. I'm now running the closed ati drivers 
until I have time to try the open ones again.

That being said, I've had more lockups requiring hard reset in the last 
week of running the Ati closed drivers than I did all the time running 
Arch, Gentoo (years) and cvs/svn builds of KDE3. Closed sucks.
