Just install it yourself. I don't get what the big deal is. If you have to edit a bunch of config files then just do it yourself. If you want something straight forward there are better options. If you want something closer to traditional *NIX there are better options. If Arch is your thing that's cool, but as an oldish (41) Linux user that's been using Linux primarily since the late 90's I'm not sure what Arch is going for. I'm not trying to be harsh, but honestly I just don't quite get what Arch is doing. It seems to introduce an added level of complexity that specific to Arch. If your into that sort of thing, there's better options. If your looking for something easier there's better options. I just don't get it. lol



I said grsec was available in few distros prebuilt. Debian was in that group as well.

It may not be for you. I ended up packaging new libraries every few weeks on other distros. Debian experimental included. Arch solves that problem for me. I guess Gentoo, nixos, and others would do that as well. But this one's my choice.


Like I said I'm not knocking Arch, I just don't quite get it, but yea I am old school so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
