I may be switching over to Arch Linux from Trisquel Mini 8.0 Everything was going well with Trisquel Mini until it froze on configuring the avahi-daemon while doing System Updates. Did it twice so I'm about to wipe and start over. I can't have this happening. I think Arch is slightly less resource-intensive so it may be better anyway. I only have 1GB RAM in this thing. Intel loaded it to the breaking point with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit...the 3 years of updates it had to catch up alone killed any use of it.
