   Ummmmm ... not necessarily ......

   I've had fatal probs with Arch derivs ... after
   a year they won't update properly. Eventually
   had to dump 'em all and use Deb derivs instead.
   No more Manjaro boxes.

   Despite some more-recent irritations, I'll still
   rec vanilla Deb over all other current distros.
   MX seems to be The Best deriv right now, and
   has been for a LONG time.
