Arch Linux in August Issue of Linux Format

I just picked up the August issue of Linux Format magazine (linuxformat.co.uk) and there is an Arch iso on the cover disc. They don't really go into detail about Arch, but there is a paragraph or two on how to install it. It seems to leave quite a bit out, I guess irc might start getting a little busy.

ooh. i will have to snag it. nice. I think they did a blurb about frugalware last time, so I guess they figured they should hit arch too.

Re: Arch Linux in August Issue of Linux Format

I wouldn't get excited about it. I remember picking it up at the newsagents and looking at what they said about Arch. It was the briefest of explanations on how to get the thing installed.

Still, in the September issue, they crown Vim as the king of the editors. I'm sure that'll please many on these forums.

Interesting. Everywhere I saw arch in a linux magazine they only gave a short installation instructions. Usually next to it was some ultra-easy to install gui distro with at least 5 pages of installation manual with zillions of screenshots.
You just can't write a lot about arch installation ;-)
