Firefly Linux: Another Linux distro for your netbook, but based on Arch Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| In the last few months, numerous Linux distros (Ubuntu NBR, EEEbuntu 3.0)
| have been released for the netbooks. Here is another one, but unlike the two
| distros mentioned above, it is based on highly sophisticated Arch Linux,
| which is generally considered for the pro users.
|
| [...]
|
| Its install size is 559MB which is significantly smaller than the Ubuntu NBR.
| However, it still manager to pack in all the basic apps like web-browser,
| Open Office, Skype and GIMP (for image editing). Also, everything works out
| of box (including Wi-Fi).

Arch Linux 2009.02
,----[ Quote ]
| Arch Linux is a distro developed without assitance from any of the major
| distributions, and is targeted at experienced users of Linux. It is unique in
| the Linux world that it uses a ârc.confâ file which is executed everytime
| upon start up, an idea borrowed from the BSD style systems.
|
| While this review is technically one of the 2009.02 release, Arch Linux uses
| a ârolling-releaseâ system, in which the actual system is constantly updated
| and then âsnapshotsâ of the current packages are made into an ISO file and
| released every 6 months.

Arch Linux - a distro collectorâs pick
,----[ Quote ]
| Having a ten years experience of using various Linux distributions I can say
| with all responsibility, that Arch Linux is one of the most complete Linux
| desktops I ever used. Moreover, if you care about expanding your computer
| knowledge, and youâre ambitious, it is just what you need.

Linux Review 11: Arch Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| After 11 successful looks at Linux, I think I may have found my favorite...
|
| Arch Linux is a Linux distribution striving to Keep it simple. My opinions on
| this? Its great. Arch is lightweight and you can do anything in relation to
| Desktop Managers and configuration. I installed it on my Eee PC 904HA, and
| had similar results to Fedora. Sound from the headphone output is full of
| static, but I think that might be a hardware problem. Wireless basically
| worked out of box. Even with the core install, essentials to a laptop
| configuration were working. I went from there, installing and configuring
| X.org, GDM, Gnome, XFCE, and getting programs like Firefox, Pidgin, and
| OpenOffice.org. What I got out of doing this all by hand was a fast, slim
| system with only the essentials.
|
| [...]
|
| Arch is a nice Linux distribution. It is lightweight and fast. It works
| great, once you have it configured properly. It gives you flexibility. You
| only download things you need. I have to say, with all of these things
| together in one distribution, it is my favorite. I have to give it a 5/5. I
| think this will be my distribution of choice for a while. Until something
| similar to arch comes along with a better mixture of performance and
| features, Arch will be my favorite. For now, I will stop distribution hopping
| and stay with Arch.

Distro Review - Arch Linux 2009.02
,----[ Quote ]
| After many broken promises and much procrastination, I finally made it onto
| Arch Linux and thatâs where Iâve been for the past couple of weeks now. I had
| a failed attempt at Arch last year when my hard drive died; not Archâs fault
| in any way, but since then I havenât really had a chance to get back to it.
| Itâs a distro a lot of people tell me about. The Arch fans are always really
| passionate and enthusiastic in describing it to me; so I figured it was high
| time I found out for myself what all this fuss was aboutâ
