Can anyone recommend a good alternative? I liked to use Arch on my DVR<br>
because it is bare bones from the start (e.g. only the absolutely<br>
necessary services running after install). That left it easily<br>
configurable to the purpose I needed it for.<br>

At the moment, I'm considering Sabayon[1] since it has a binary<br>
package manager. But I do not care for Gentoo.<br>
