Maybe you have out grown the prepackaged distros. You might be a "power
user" or possibly "man-bear-pig".[1] You might consider another distro
and give it a whirl. I use Debian.[2] It has always worked for me and
its price has yet to vary, in the seven years I've used it. There are
folk who subscribe to Gentoo,[3] the price is the same as Debian's and I
personally gave it a whirl, but I don't have patience to wait for that
nonsense to compile. If I had that amount of time on my hands, I'd do
it the old school way.[4]
