@mjack I mean, Gentoo has already set a no-AI policy if you're looking for a distribution that has that.

And there's always Slackware...

@jzb

Can we agree on last _convenient_ option, then?

Gentoo, LFS, Slackware, they all keep us on our toes, at least that's the appeal to me.

There's power in knowing what is going on, but sometimes you just need to do a quick re-install.

(I've installed Yellow Dog Linux on a PowerPC Mac from 20-something 3.5" diskettes, downloaded and written at uni. It would fail at disk 20-something minus 1).
