How to Find the Perfect Linux Distribution for You

[TruthAnalyzed]

10. I'm a speed junkie

I'm constantly looking for ways to speed up my computer.

I started with Windows... disabling processes, uninstalling programs, etc...
Then I went to Ubuntu... better, but not as much as I hoped.
I tried the lighter windows managers for Ubuntu(Lubuntu, etc)... better, but still not as much as I hoped.
Tried Mint... tried a few other distros...

Now, I'm working off of Arch+Openbox, and I love it. I don't have anything other than bare-bones put into it... menu bar or anything. I use some 90mb of RAM on startup, and I mapped all of the programs I use to keyboard shortcuts, so I don't even have to right-click to select programs.

Now I'm compiling my own OS with Linux From Scratch... the move to Arch and now LFS has taught me a lot, and I love how insanely fast my barebones OS's are.

I also have Puppy Linux on a USB stick, I carry it around with me when I'm out.
