Arch Linux might be interesting, I need to read more or just will test

it. Gentoo, hm? OOTB (is there an 'OOTB'?) without ALSA?
        "nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx removed from [extra]
        2011-04-15
        The nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx driver packages have been

        removed from our repositories as they are incompatible with

        newer xorg servers. This can only be fixed by an upstream

        update, which has not happened yet.
        For most video cards, the best alternative should be

        xf86-video-nouveau; see:

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
        As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv

        and xf86-video-vesa: simply remove the old nvidia driver(s),

        install these, and the xorg

        server ..." (http://www.archlinux.org/)
        On Ubuntu I'm using the proprietary driver and the old FLOSS nv,

        I removed nouveau.
        Btw. at startup I'm switching my xorg.conf regarding to the

        kernel by
                rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

                case $(uname -r) in

                    *rt*)

                        cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf

                        ;;

                    *)

                	cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf

                        ;;

                esac
        OTOH I never got 3D acceleration for the integrated ATI

        graphics. So Arch might be not what I'm looking for.
        I wonder if they do have something similar to Synaptic?

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman
        I wish to have something similar to Synaptic, regading to the

        comfort and history.
        I wish to have an already stable environment, for Gentoo even

        ALSA isn't set:

        http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

        Ebuilds, no packages?
Thank you,
Ralf
