I would be more proud to run CRUX, as it would rely more on me than in the software used to build it.

It much looks like what I expected Arch to be. I am on Archbang, on an OpenRC version on my laptop. Pretty stable!

I learned about AlpineLinux on this thread.

I like the philosophy of source-based distros: not only having binaries that works for everybody, but also being able to build software on reliably for everybody. But this means we have to deal with libraries and compilation for everything (which I do not mind).

If I want something at the latest commit, I prefer to build it myself with a small script, installing them in <code>~/.local</code>, and custom recipes). It needs to set a few environment variables like PATH. It is just a dotfile-scale package manager, if you want a real simple portable package manager, look at what z3bra did instead, or pkgsrc maybe.
