I'm fond of its installer (it's always had one, unlike some other
source-based distro I could mention), but one of the things that I
particularly like about it is how user participation in the community is
not only actively encouraged, but is actually supported right at the
package-management-suite: the "lvu" command has subcommands to create
new modules, edit existing modules, and submit new and changed modules
back to the distro.
