Experiences with Gentoo, CRUX and Onebase Linux (OSNews)

OSNews takes a look at three source based distributions. "Crux is simple to use, non-user-friendly-at-all, but simple. Just the way I like it. I use xfce4 window manager, firefox, gimp2, xpdf, nedit, openoffice, gqview, gaim, thunderbird, xmms, gxine and a few other gtk/gtk2 apps. These programs and a handful of their dependencies are all I compiled and installed, with my optimized architecture and optimization flags of course. Sadly nothing breaks. Nothing crashes. I love to tinker with my system but there is no need. That is why I keep a partition empty to try out the new ones."
