An example of how far ArchLinux has come

Congratulations to the developers and packagers at Arch! I want to give a perfect example of how great this system is:

My system hasn't been touched for seven months. I boot the system up, and do two things:
1) #! pacman -Sy pacman
2) #! pacman -Syu
3) reboot

Everything still works just like I had it back in January, hats off to y'all

Don't tell me it hasn't always been this easy!? :shock:

yeah you had to place an egg in your mouth and butt then rub a chicken comb on you stomach while singing staying alive. all this while dressed like a schoolgirl.

You've forgot about drawing a pentagram on the floor.

I guess that's why I never had a problem; I do that routine daily anyway.

i was actually expecting a lot of problems, i had set aside about 10 hours of Sunday to spend fixing my computer after I had updated it, but that turned into extra beer time.

I have to ask.. is there photo evidence of this update procedure ?

Even if you are doing those things sarah31 was talking about it could be mentioned that devfs is going to be taking out of the vanilla kernel and also there's been some xfree vs xorg trouble...

are you talking about the arch kernel? i use devfs without recompiling. i cannot see devfs being removed from the kernel until udev is more stable/reliable/ etc

I meant Torvalds vanilla kernel but it probably will go for arch' also.

Udev is rocking...
