As for change, I'm afraid that's inevitable in ArchLinux, because it's intended to be a cutting-edge distro. If you don't like the change, you really need to consider switching to something less hands-on. I hear that OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a viable rolling-release option. And I think Mint Debian Edition is also rolling-release? Paul
