Hi, I just read this earlier today: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2010-September/017852... I thought it may be interesting to share as I saw that cairo-1.10.0 (updated today on the CRUX-2.7 branch) is built with xcb enabled as well (and I guess it's the same for the CRUX-2.6 branch). Taking this opportunity to say that I just installed CRUX-2.7-rc2 this week-end and I *really* enjoy it so far. I'm a 5 years old archer and I am very impressed with the sheer simplicity and elegance of CRUX. Thanks a lot to all you developers, contributors and users that made it happen and make it live. I just found a new home. Regards, -- Emmanuel

It's funny (strange even) how often we get Arch users trying out CRUX :) Everyone that's been using CRUX as long as some of us know that Arch has over time borrowed ideas and features from CRUX :) --James PS: Welcome to CRUX :) -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method"

Both distros have a lot in common [1] so I'm not /that/ surprised. The paradox is that using (and loving) Arch is what made me move to CRUX today. The more I used Arch, the more a minimalism addict I became, until I tried the latest CRUX -rc and realised how simplicity could be sent to yet another level.
PS: Welcome to CRUX :)

I agree entirely (although I came from Debian to CRUX). It doesn't get much simpler and easier than CRUX IHMO. cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method"
