Why it matters: Imagine you're deep in the backcountry when a bear suddenly appears, sizing you up. Typically, you'd reach for your tried-and-true can of bear spray – trusted by wildlife experts and often even more reliable than firearms.

ZDNET First things first: ArcoPlasma (which is a spin of ArcoLinux) isn't best suited for those with little to no Linux experience. I had a few issues with the distribution (such as the db.lck file blocking updates -- which was an easy fix if you know what you're doing), so keep that in mind as you read on.
