thanks ud.. I appreciate it..

High.. I'm new around here. Thought I'd drop in and say hello. I've never in my life come within ten feet of an RPM distro. In fact, I'm an ex-FreeBSD/Gentoo user for the past four years. I dabbled in Slackware for about a week. Pkgtool isn't very intuitive and I didn't like it. Now I'm on this nifty newfangled Archlinux. I like it a lot. I plan on keeping it. Pacman is exactly what I was looking for in terms of package management. Intuitive install/uninstall; dependency checking; all that nifty stuff... You guys know all that already.

Anyway... rock on. :twisted:

(p.s. thanks for the plug Jagged )

curiously... why didnt u decide to stick with gentoo? (this is not a loaded question btw - but i'd like to hear your answer. If you could do your part to answer honestly, that would be great.)

I liked Gentoo a lot, really, but I just didn't have the time to sit and watch everything compile. I know gentoo has binary parts to the distribution, but for me anyway, that totally defeated the purpose of Gentoo being a source distribution to begin with. I wanted a simple, stable binary distribution like Slackware with the intuitive package management system that Gentoo has. That's why I picked Arch.
