And considerably faster. It runs on Pentium2s upwards (>200 MHz) and can be maintained by anyone with minimal linux experience.

But next kernel release solved it perfectly. This distro is really easy to install,fast and stable. So I suggest for everybody to give a try! ;) I vote for Arch also, despite to the fact, that I had some problems with network and soundcard after kernel upgrade.
