Getting Started with Arch Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs hard to come up with an opinion about
| Arch, since Arch is what you make of it. I
| like that it gives so much control to the
| user when it comes to system
| configuration, but at times it feels like
| a little too much control. There are a few
| things that make you think âcome on, does
| this HAVE to be manual?â but the
| developers are clearly just trying to
| follow the Arch philosophy of giving the
| user all the control. In particular, it
| would be nice to have tools like hwd and
| aurbuild as part of the system, or at
| least available for installation through
| pacman. That may happen at some point as
| packages in AUR have a chance to be worked
| into the community repo eventually.
| Overall I think I like Arch and pacman,
| and I can see how it would make a great
| choice for systems that should be kept
| fast and clean.

Noteworthy changes 21 december â 31 december 2009

| In spite of the holiday season, lots of
| new packages continue to trickle in
| Mandriva Cooker. Amongst the many updates,
| here is an overview of some important
| changes:
|
| * GNOME is now updated toversion
| 2.29.4: The most important changes are
| in Nautilus. In preparation of GNOME
| 3.0, where Nautilus will purely be a
| file browser and wonât provide the
| desktop anymore, the file management
| part has been improved a lot. Upstream
| is now using browser mode by default
| (this was already the case in
| Mandriva) and made several UI
| improvements for it. The developers
| have added now an optional split view
| like Midnight Commander. Another
| useful change is that itâs now
| possible in GNOME to configure a
| background per monitor on a multi-
| monitor setup in GNOME. Also worth
| mentioning is the fast progress the
| Tracker document search engine is
| making since some time. I would
| recommend removing Beagle from your
| Cooker system, and switching to
| Tracker instead. Then by clicking on
| the Search button in Nautilusâ
| toolbar, you can easily search your
| files.
| * KDE has been updated to the latest
| beta, which is version 4.4 beta 2.

Arch Linux 2009.8 Installation Visualization â VirtualBox
,----[ Quote ]
| Hereâs another visual walkthrough of an
| installation. This time of Arch Linux Core
| (Core has all the base packages on CD and you
| have the option for a network, or cd
| install), which is typically for the more
| advanced Linux users.
|
| Iâm not going to commentate per screenshot
| because well, itâd take me FOREVER. Iâll do a
| few though, and hope I donât get carried
| away.
