So... you don't install anything on your arch linux box? 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 :)

If you do a find and replace on most anti linux/anti microsoft
arguments, you'll find that they are remarkably portable :)
