PLUG-discuss Digest, Vol 165, Issue 3

[Stephen Partington]

Mostly it is just a personal preference. Sometimes it is related to the

I personally am torn between arch and Ubuntu (especially with their lite
install option) I like both for different reasons. I have been considering
moving to arch on my laptop.
