LinuxUser review of Arch

There's a new review of Arch Linux in LinuxUser magazine (found via Distrowatch):

http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2005/1 … index.html

The problem for many of us?  It's in German.  Would one of our German-speaking netizens be willing to summarize the contents.  I presume it's a positive look at Arch.

Re: LinuxUser review of Arch

Sum:

Arch merged flexibility with a slim, coherent design. Beneath a smart package (pacman) and build (abs) system it is possible to use binaries without braking it into pieces. It is fast, smart and up to date. Installation and configuration is a bit of work, but it is worth all effords, stable and nothing but fun to use it.

Hey, nice translation. Does it only look very well for me as not-native-english-speaker, or is it as good as it looks? Does goggle language tools usually produce such a good result?

Re: LinuxUser review of Arch

I was suprised by how well it trasnlated it too. Seems like a crap shoot with automatic translators. Sometimes it is fairly reasonable, sometimes the results are....hilarious. tongue
