[kwlug-disc] Canadian Distros?

[Sandeep Johri]

Hope I'm not repeating what others have already said.

I really like Manjaro - which is based on Arch (a Canadian Distro
<http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=arch>)

I have it installed on a Dell Precision M20 (having a single core
Pentium processor) which I've hooked up to a TV to make it 'smart'.

Installation was very simple.  I was also able to install it on an old
Acer Aspire One net-book which technically is dual core but has an Intel
Atom Processor.  

Video processing is better on the M20 as compared to the Aspire One -
however normal day to day work is flawless on both.

Thanks
Sandeep
