He also talks about SystemRescueCD, which I have been using for years. Thought the project was dead, but seems I was wrong, if one refers to the changelog.

"He" is in fact a "she". Carla Schroder is the author of O'Reilly's outstanding "Linux Cookbook" and "Linux Networking Cookbook".

I agree that Arch is one of my favorite distributions of all time but I feel that Arch's best feature is it's simple / lightweight approach to packages installed rather than Ubuntu installing everything of a 4+ GB DVD. Either way we win because Arch is hands down the most amazing distribution.

Ubuntu comes only in a 700 megabyte cd..

Yes, or as an usb-installer. And it's easy to install the server-version which comes without all the DE-software, so it's not really fair to call Ubuntu bloated by definition.

Well, my apologies to her for the mistake, hope she does not hold too hard a grudge ;-)

Post Scriptum. There's another quite positive mention in Linux Today's Editor's Note, by the same author.

I second her last line: Happy new year and may your dreams come true.
