In no particular order!

Seconded - just when I think Arch can't get any better, I find a new surprise whilst browsing the announcements or the AUR.

These forums and the wiki are very friendly, informative and supportive - you can usually find the answer to everything in one or the other. And you've proven to me that there is such a thing as life after 'apt-get'!

Keep on proving you can do it better with Linux

EDIT: Not to forget: Thanks for a wonderful idea Skottish - people like me need threads like this to get off our behinds and show how much we do like Arch.

Using arch is a truly joyful experience for me, so I would also like to thank everyone that has made arch (the distro it's self and it's community) what it is today.

Thank you!

Would like to add my thanks to everyone involved in making arch what it is. I use it daily on a number of machines, and the fact that problems are few and easily resolved is testament to the hard work put in by so many.

Thanks!

Yes, a big thanks to this awesome community. I have been helped tremendously as I've started to use Arch and it's been a lot of fun to learn so much and really a privilege to use such a wonderful OS. Thank you folks!!

Bob-Hur · 2008-01-21 21:56:27

Thank you very much, each and every of you! Not only is Arch nice, but I'm learning more about Linux every day.

everyone who posted here +1

Thanks arch community and developers! If we were at a bar, I would buy you all a drink

I love this game. My laptop loves it, my server loves it and my desktop loves it.

sodakessdee · 2008-02-18 05:10:32

I have been searching for the "right" distribution for a long time now (about 5 years of the 24 under my belt). I tried so many distributions I was practically swimming in CDs, and my wife told me "We don't need anymore coasters". It was at this point I turned to Arch, and with Arch I'm staying, not only because I don't need anymore coasters, I don't want anymore either. Of all the slogans I've read from all the distributions I've tried and hated, Arch's is the only one to be true to its roots. To the developers, the community, and all associated with this great project - thank you.

I can only echo everyones sentiments here. I'm finding Arch a truely fantastic distro. It's the one that brought my hopping and endless searching for that perfect distro to an abrupt halt. A great distro, a great community, great developers. Long live Arch.

klixon · 2008-07-07 17:50:42

big fat ACK! (the tcp kind...)

Thanks to all involved. You make using a computer a fun, entertaining, educative, at times challenging, but overall very pleasant experience.

Three cheers for the {Dev,User}land that is the arch community

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

ps: i was not being sarcastic, i just like those old cheers better

Intrepid · 2008-07-16 08:27:10

I must thank Judd and the others for Pacman & makepkg. Honestly, the Wiki is where Arch TRULY shines over other distros. It proves that we Archers try to know our stuff and care to set it up properly.

Heil Arch.

Jagged · 2008-07-17 16:30:23

Just tossing my two cents in here. I've been using Arch since 2003. It's come a long way insofar as ease of use and configuration is concerned. The user and membership base certainly has grown a ton! I can remember counting on one or two hands the number of users in #archlinux. Good job guys, and keep it up!

vennen · 2008-07-18 04:34:41

I want to say my BIG THANKS to all people who created, maintain and use Arch. I really feel happy to be a part of community.

P.S. Wish I could write programms to OpenSource but I fear I have no time for studying that because of my work.
Can someone give me a hint about starting programming? I mean books, tips and advices.

I was at least 25% sober when I started this post and I don't even drink or use anymore. Man model airplane glue rocks!

user1100100 · 2008-08-15 16:23:09

I've only been using Arch for a short time, but have been so completely impressed with every aspect of the distribution - installation, package management, package repositories, the developers, the maintainers, and the community members in the forums. I've ping-ponged between Slackware and Gentoo for years, but now that I've found Arch, it appears there's no need to do so anymore.

With this in mind, I just hit the donation button.

Best regards.

Asgaroth · 2008-08-15 16:50:37

I second everything that has been said in this thread: Thank you.
I'm also trying to give as much back to the community as possible(both in help and code), although I don't have very much to offer (yet).

Bregol · 2008-08-15 16:55:25

Yay!!!! Arch ~= Gentoo - compiling. Bregol likes it.

xd-0 · 2008-08-15 17:04:57

Don't have lot of cash, so a simple thank you will have to do
It's a fantastic community and combined with all the devs and contributors you get a great experience.

zimt · 2008-08-22 16:16:48

Thanks a lot to all involved in the Arch community! It's my favourite distro!

richs-lxh · 2008-08-27 10:03:46

I have to join in on this one.

Arch dragged me away kicking and screaming from Debian, quite a feat and no other distro has ever come close apart from Pardo (Upkg not quite up to it). Well done devs, great distro! I just wish I had tried it earlier.

As a forum Admin myself, I appreciate the time and effort put into any community by staff and members, this is a great forum!; friendly, helpful and extremely well laid out. I have been using/running forums for a few years now and have to give you all the thumbs up.

A good community is extremely important for a distro.

Thanks to all,

richs-lxh

Gringo · 2008-09-01 21:57:45

Thanks so, so, so much for all your hard work Arch Linux community, application developers, documentators and all other people behind the scenes. I can't imagine a life without Arch Linux It's the best distro for just about anything.

HURAY! HURAY! HURAAAY!

haxit · 2008-09-01 21:58:39

Thanks a million. I wish I had the money to donate. Once I do, I promise to donate.

Arch Linux
