Me and Rhia managed to succesfully install and run Arch for use as a print server, on a crappy old Medion with about 4 screws left in it lol

We've had a few Gentoo fans here, Neil S is the only one I can name who
hasn't moved away from D&C, but I'm sure there are plenty of others.

For the record I upgraded a live server to Debian Squeeze from Lenny
this afternoon whilst waiting for a bit of Qt to compile (I typed a nice
command to git and it told me it has 406,000 or so objects to get
zzzZZZZzzzZZZZ).

Unlike Gordon I followed the upgrade instructions in the release notes
and made sure my kernel met the requirements ;)
