where's the intermediate and advanced guide to arch linux
i think some of us have finished reading the beginners guide already and would like a consolidated version of knowledge that would make up what would be considered as an intermediate and advanced guide to arch. (I know that there are many disparate sections on different aspects of managing the arch installation) So anyway, its just my suggestion, I can't do it myself as im still a beginner but would like to move on to more advanced stuff.

Re: where's the intermediate and advanced guide to arch linux
When you feel you are ready, write it up yourself. Remember that the beginner's guide is not official Arch documentation - it was created by various Arch users who felt that it filled a need for them and others. You are free to do the same.
Re intermediate and advanced guides, my €0.02 would be that they are unnecessary. Arch is already intended for use by intermediate/advanced Linux users, in other words, people who know enough about how to find the details they need.

Re: where's the intermediate and advanced guide to arch linux
An advanced user shoudn't need a guide. He/she shoud know what he/she want/need to do, and where to look up the information on how to do it, himself/herself.
That's my twisted opinion, atleast.

Yep, I personally see no need for intermediate/advanced guides. All the various wiki pages have more advanced topics covered pretty well, in my opinion.

Beginners use guides. Intermediate/advanced users use man pages.

yes, that is true but its not about ability or anything, imho its much more convienient to go to one place to get all the info than to go to google.com/the wiki/forum and type in what you want to search for.

After you have learned the basics, everything you learn means you increase your knowledge in a specific direction. This means that the knowledge itself grows exponentially from the beginner to the intermediate level, figuratively speaking. There can't be an intermediate guide to Arch. There can be a nice wiki which catalogs the knowledge, however. There can be How Tos, which explain how to reach a certain goal for every possible skill level.
