Thanks for that information.
I am using Arch at the moment but I spent the last 45 minutes trying to fix a network problem which involved fighting with journalctl to see what was actually happening.
Void linux looks like a great alternative.

I assure you void is a great aternative to Arch. I was with arch until systemd, and it feels like home, only smaller, with Arch.

Void linux is a rolling release, has binary packages, uses a very good package manager (even better than pacman) and the community is small but very friendly.
Crux is very minimal, and you have to compile your packages.
I use Void Linux, and am very happy with it.
