First of all (a late) thanks to all who responded.
Today I installed ArchLinux on a spare box, and it

went very well. It took me around 1/3 of the time

(compared to a previous F11 install) to get the

machine how I wanted it. I just had to adapt to

having to install things I wanted rather than

having to remove or modify those I didn't want.

and the hard disk footprint is a fraction of what

I'm used to.
There's only only problem I've not been able to fix:

when using apps that frequently update pixmaps or

send Ximages, the mouse pointer gets corrupted with

that data. It happens with Ardour, jkmeter, japa,

and others. No idea where to start... Driver is

the 'ati' module, probably it needs some parameters.
Ciao,
