 Yep, bad reason :) Just stick mostly with the English-speaking
 community.
 My locale is C anyway.

 I use Arch these days because it usually Just Works (TM) and I don't
 have much time but other simpler Linux alternatives include Crux (*)
 and Tiny Core. Thanks Jens for the link to the 9vx/TC distribution
 by the way.

 Otherwise, I still use Minix3 from time to time. It is interesting,
 especially since it has pkgsrc, but sadly still lacks ports.

 (*) The link with ArchLinux is the same as the one between Minix
 and Linux: Judd Vinet was a Crux user when he started Arch. He
 liked its ideal of simplicity but wanted binary packages.
