searching for that kind of distro
I've been searching up and down for a distro that's right for me. Right now I have Desktop BSD but without support for my ATI-X1600 card (by that I mean 3d, open-GL) it's not much use for me and I don't want to have to spend alot of money just to get a card that's supported by it. I have the following requirements I need to satisfy the following requirements, if possible:
- Easy installation process
- Support for newer ATI-Xxxx cards (as mentioned above)
- Huge repository (or as big as it gets, besides BSD/Gentoo-ports)
- NOT BSD/Gentoo based (Gentoo is kewl but kind of buggy in all
Gentoo-based that I have tried so far e. g. printer setup issues and
whatnot.
- Low resource footprint, as in fast, lightweight, smooth
- A packaging system that allows to install packages downloaded from
elsewhere outside a repo and checks/satisfies dependencies for
those.
So, yeah that's what I'm kinda looking for, so if anyone can come up with some recommendations that would be very helpful. I don't expect that all my needs get satisfied but as long as it's easy to install, supports my graphics card (ATI X1600), has a huge-as-it-gets repo and works smooth is good should do the trick.
Greetings, Patrick
