Arch Linux

I've been a linux user for about 7 years and I must say this is the best distro i've used thus far. I decided to switch from gentoo after getting tired of compiling everything and their nasty layout of /etc. I had arch up and running in about 10 minutes. The package management is awesome. Keep up the good works guys!

Welcome, wah, and yeah, Arch is great.

So it will be Arch for the next 7 years, right?

That's what finally happened to me too. Arch is pretty cool.

Take a look at ABS when you feel the need to tweak something (if you haven't already). 

Just curious, how did you here about Arch? I read about it in a Magazine myself.

Re: Arch Linux

I actually heard about Arch a few years ago from a buddy of mine. At that time I had just started playing with Gentoo so I didn't look into it any further. Something tells me if I had checked it out back then I would have been using Arch long ago.
