[ale] Void Linux Tips

[Chad Huneycutt]

Smaller projects will almost always have faster and more responsive
support.  There are also more bugs.  As the number of users per
maintainer increases -- which will come with a successful project --
expect decreased service.  I'm not sure I would be willing to
professionally take a chance on a new distro until the maintainers
show they are able to cope with success.
