Archlinux could be good, I used it in the past, but for sure I'm not
sure I want to use it again. Mostly due to some members of the french

Yep, bad reason :) Just stick mostly with the English-speaking
community.
My locale is C anyway.
I use Arch these days because it usually Just Works (TM) and I don't
have much time but other simpler Linux alternatives include Crux (*)
and Tiny Core. Thanks Jens for the link to the 9vx/TC distribution
by the way.
Otherwise, I still use Minix3 from time to time. It is interesting,
especially since it has pkgsrc, but sadly still lacks ports.
(*) The link with ArchLinux is the same as the one between Minix
and Linux: Judd Vinet was a Crux user when he started Arch. He
liked its ideal of simplicity but wanted binary packages.
