Re: Arch in the top ten list of best-designed distro websites

Cactus and Simo are both too modest for their own good! These two were (are) responsible for keeping all of the core sites running like a well-oiled machine--and of course, now we can add Dusty to that list. I really had nothing to do with the overall 'style' of the Arch websites--most of that was here when I first discovered Arch.  I can only take responsibility for the logo and some minor revisions to the navigation and colour schemes.

I admit it, I wasn't that crazy about the overall layout of the Arch sites when I first came along, but it *has* grown on me.  Originally, I thought something a bit flashier was needed, but I've come to love the simplicity of finding information on the sites.  There are places I'm sure we can improve, but overall I think the simpler it remains, the better we will be.

Great logo, great site design. I think might be the best ever!! Best ever distro!!! I just hope this distro never gets backed by a company, however that is my opinion.

Re: Arch in the top ten list of best-designed distro websites

I love some of the anon comments.

Slackware's site is best designed. It doesnt have all sorts of unnecessary crap on it.

Plus, its not a piece of shit distro like the others listed.

Slacware is ridiculous. You have to never get laid to use Slackware. Jackass.
There is nothing wrong with most of these distros.

I've always thought the site looks nice and clean, so props for the recognition.

I love Arch's site too. In fact, I must admit it was one of the biggest factors that attracted me to the distro in the first place.

I like this site. Simple, attractive, yet still fast, easy to navigate, and it looks very professional.

Re: Arch in the top ten list of best-designed distro websites

One of the reasons that got me interested in Arch was the website. Arch is one of the few distributions that you don't have to do an extensive search to find out which packages it provides.
