Re: Arch Linux for the DIY Linux user - linux.com review
Nice written. But I would rather conclude like this: "All in all, Arch is a nice distro for everyone but especially for users who wish to learn about Linux[...]". It always sounds like Arch is for the nerdy kind of linux people.

The best thing about Pacman is that it installs only what I ask it to. For example, it allows me the freedom to install just the KSnapshot program instead of the complete KDE graphics package.

He then says he used kdemod, so that is why he could do that. If that is what you mean by your hmm.
