CRUX vs. Arch

hi,

i decided just before a few days to change my distro. now i have the problem, that neither distrowatch.com nor old.lwn.net/Distributions tell me "hey, that's your distro. this one is right for you!" ... :-))
ok, after a while i decided to use one of these distros: arch, crux, root
i think i take arch, but i don't really understand the difference between arch and crux.
maybe one of you can explain it to me? thx.

The package manager for Arch is way more advanced than the package manager for crux, apart from that Arch also has a huge package base,  and basicly I think its allot nicer to work with then crux.

couldn't agree more
Tried a lot of distro's in the past but Arch is the only one that's suits my needs. It's the first distro that on my computer for more than 1 month

Re: CRUX vs. Arch

ok, folks i understood. (am i not intelligent? )

then i'll try it. :!: in the past i had mandrake installed. i also tried gentoo, suse, redhat, halloween :twisted: but they were all too bloated and slow or they were not usable as a desktop-system or they needed too long to install (no, i don't mean gentoo... )

i hope it will also suite my needs.

thx for ur answers, you'll hear from me...
