Review: Arch Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâve been wanting to try Arch Linux for quite 
| some time now.  They seem to have a similar 
| aesthetic to Gentoo in that the main mission 
| of Arch is to build your operating system from 
| the ground up.  You only add the things you 
| need.  So you donât have any cruft on your 
| system based on what some other people think 
| you should have.  So letâs pop this CD in and 
| see what happens!  (Iâm also following the 
| directions on 
| http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide)  The disc is the 2009.08 
| snapshot.  I booted into the LiveCD.

Making the Switch to Arch Linux

| Overall, I am really happy with Arch, although
| to be fair, I havenât been using it for more
| than a day yet. However, the documentation is
| great and the installation was relatively quick
| and painless, so I am pretty pleased at this
| point. I look forward to getting more
| comfortable with it and switching my other
| machines as well.

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.

Interview: Arch Linux Team

,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks ago, we asked for the OSNews
| community to help with some questions we were
| going to ask Aaron Griffin from the Arch Linux
| team, and the response was glorious and
| somewhat phenomenal. We added those questions
| to our own and sent them on over, and then we
| were surprised by receiving not only Aaron
| Griffin's responses but answers from various
| individuals from the team.
