Which version of Arcch did u start with

ScriptDevil · 2006-05-17 11:29:30

Now that gimmick is due, i wan to know whixch arch really set arch up for the big stage.

Ibex · 2006-05-17 11:37:48

My first arch experience was with Noodle. It has been about 2 months ago I think .

FUBAR · 2006-05-17 11:51:20

I joined the forums as Fubarovic on 5th Nov 2004. I'd been using Arch for a few months then. So I started out with v0.6.

pressh · 2006-05-17 11:54:48

I started with Wombat. It's a shame nobody told me about Arch before that!

byte · 2006-05-17 12:08:11

I knew Arch when I started with Slackware two years ago and switched shortly after Noodle was released.

iphitus · 2006-05-17 12:31:16

0.5 or 0.6, not sure. I burnt the cd, installed, and syu'ed.
I've only installed arch 3 times, the first time I ever installed it, then after my hdd crash, and then the third time when I got my new computer.

Funny thing is out of all that, I've only seen the installer once, the second two installs were done manually from a liveCD/host system.

might I add that gimmick itself technically hasnt been released yet, the final package list for 0.7.2 has yet to be set, so it's likely there'll be a minor update or two by then.

Firefly (0.3) in December 2002

dtw · 2006-05-17 12:39:58

I started with 0.6 and only installed once and never looked back...I think...

iBertus · 2006-05-17 12:49:26

Also started with 0.6, I think.. Been awhile now.

raskolnikov · 2006-05-17 13:13:47

I tried 0.7 some months ago and liked it, except to this fscky thing known as devfs. Coming from Slackware, I prefer a "classic" namespace

So I trash it to try another one. When 0.7.1 was out and I saw it has left devfs in favor of udev, I gave it another try and was impressed. It was back in January, and I'm always running it with pleasure for the power it give to me. Not everything is perfect, though

Arch has potential and is definitely one of my favorites distros (the other one being Slackware, of course ). Great experience.

Cerebral · 2006-05-17 13:17:26

I think my first-ever Arch install was 0.5. I was hopelessly clueless then, and didn't stick with it for long before returning to WinXP.

Then I think I decided I'd try linux again, and installed 0.6. Haven't reinstalled since, and now I'm in WinXP maybe less than 1% of my time.

myst · 2006-05-17 13:18:27

0.7.1 Noodle, found the site by occasion and was astonished "It's like Slack, but for i686 and with -Syu. Koool!"

stavrosg · 2006-05-17 14:08:00

Wombat for me, too.
I was using slackware at the time and had a failed attempt on installing it, and put ubuntu in.
Then my HDD was burned, and I put it successfully on the new I bought to replace it.
That was exactly a year ago. I've never looked for another distro since.

filoktetes · 2006-05-17 14:16:12

I started with 0.4, but wish I had discoverd Arch long before that. I was a distro nomad until I found Arch. By the way, what's that XP you're all talking about?

ScriptDevil · 2006-05-17 15:13:48

I myself started with 0.7.1.
I liked it. For 3 months i havent changed the distro which is a benchmark for me
fedora3 (1 month)
fedora4 (12 days)
Ubuntu(Breezy) (2months)
ZenWalk(4 days)
Underground(12 days)
freebsd(3 months)
Gentoo (2 hours)
Arch(forever)

tlaloc · 2006-05-17 15:31:53

0.7.1 (coming from SuSE). I am in love with two girls - I know what I am doing in SuSE, and I learn a lot of things from Arch.

Perhaps a kind of EXperimental Package? Try to install via AUR

baze · 2006-05-17 15:33:22

0.7 last october.

arooaroo · 2006-05-17 15:47:47

I used 0.7 (Wombat) beta around about January 2005 when I started.

PJ · 2006-05-17 15:47:58

I started with Wombat. I changed from crux to arch after reading some reviews and interviews, but it wasn't because of that I changed, it was more or less that I couldn't stand a source-based distribution any longer.

fk · 2006-05-17 16:05:22

I started with Noodle April 06

Sigi · 2006-05-17 16:28:24

I startet with Wombat a year ago.

lumiwa · 2006-05-17 16:30:08

I started with Noodle, december 2005.

briancurtin · 2006-05-17 19:19:44

noodle, about 3 maybe 4 months ago.

brain0 · 2006-05-17 19:37:17

Widget, December 2004 on my laptop. I had some compatibility problems then, as all pacman paths changes shortly before the 0.7 release, so I couldn't update anything at first.

I used that system last December when I had my new laptop hd (though the old hd is still somewhere).

I first installed 0.7 on my Desktop in March 2005 or something, then messed it up, deleted it and finally switched to Arch on my Desktop a month later or so.

I'm still fairly new here -wombat for me.
