[Download] Arch Linux

A simple, lightweight distribution

? Simple? It's the most complicated version of Linux to date

 

Nothing phases a hard-core Nix hey, LOL...

Gonna have to give this a go as well

 

Is this more hardened that Slackware???

 

LOL.. I think that's duh's (Paul) world!

 

Most complicated? Go get yourself a copy of LFS.

 

I tried Arch after trying a couple of "easy" distros and can say that it's the install that is not as easy as some other distros but in use I find it easier. When I was using "easy" distros like say Mint or Crunchbang if I couldn't find up to date software I had to build it myself with various results In Arch I rarely have to as some kind guy has usually done it for me and it's easy to install from the AUR. Also the software is much more up to date. I also find it stable.

 

It's not complicated. I know it seems like a 7-headed monster, but once you read the wiki and understand what every command does, it get's simple. I can install Arch faster than Ubuntu, for example.

Maintaining arch is also very simple, very basic.

 

The learning curve is also great.

 

cool * (* = conditions apply)

Spoiler

Wow, It looks like a thing that only HACKERS use

Serious $h!t ! I remembered D.H. 4.0 the moment my eyes came in front of the screenshot ..

 

It's simple as in there's not much in it

 

I am new to linux but i really want to touch ARCH haha.

 

I have few years with Linux and I know what my computer is inside but I wasn't able to install Arch

 

Why Bro.. Is the installation process E.T. (Extraterrestrial)?

 

I don't remember now where I did wrong neither where I droped that CD for future try...

 

Try in vmware first ? i am a newbie with linux and never used virtual box but for arch i might install it haha
