Hello, in my experience with CRUX its better cause i can setup my kernel the way i want it and as lite it can be, but i did have to learn more about my hardware and the drivers it use for Linux and were i can enable them so i know what to disable , so i recommend you to have 2 computers IF YOU HAVE THEM one so you can mess with the kernel try and error and other so you can search on internet, Not only you need drivers but you also need to configure more stuff so for example your Tux penguin will show on boot :D . This help me a lot on my CRUX journey http://sudaraka.org/note-to-self/crux-in...tion-guide and the Installation Document on the CRUX webpage
