Wait.. someone who actually likes Konqueror? Why?
Because I can allow javascript per url. I can turn off javascript as a default and then turn it on for only online transactions ie buying stuff from newegg/banking.
Firefox with NoScript? Works fine for me here, and things like temporary privileges help a lot when browsing unknown sites.
I don't like add to things to get them to work as I am not of the microsoft mind set.
One buys a microsoft OS and you have to add a truckload of stuff just to get it to do something, then it fails.
So... you don't install anything on your arch linux box? No nothing as I am not running an Arch linux box. I have killed them all off, I now run a custom built system based on LFS. Both on desktops and servers.
I installed the linux kernel, and it worked, but I had to install Glib, bash, boost, and the majority of the base group to get it to do anything. However, I can see your point. Not adding a truckload of stuff would
remove the need for a package manager, and I've always seen them as a nuisance, always breaking down and needing updating :)
I don't have a/any package manager, I build the systems from bash scripts and a Makefile. On my quad core 8GB box give me about 6 hours and it's ready to run. Basic command line to KDE 3.5.10 ready for adding users and setting them up.
If you do a find and replace on most anti linux/anti microsoft arguments, you'll find that they are remarkably portable :)
