Right, I need something to build the source with after I modify
the
source. Git-head, and all that. Prebuilt binaries are of no
use. :)
Sadly, it was the former. Based on all the rave reviews on the
"Best Linux" thread I tried to install Arch on a VirtualBox VM
yesterday. I spent 2.5 hours carefully reading (and following I
believed) the installation instructions, only to end up with an
unbootable VM. It wasn't wasted time though really, because I
learned some new things that I never would have picked up with a
graphical install. However, I could see that someone who didn't
want to learn the installation details would have gone crazy.
After that I installed Mint on another VM, in about 5 minutes. It
booted with no troubles.
