Hello, my name is Matt, and I just switched from Ubuntu to Arch.
I have to say, I haven't been using linux that long.. maybe a little over a year. I started with Fedora 3, then FC4 and then Ubuntu, now Arch, and I love it. Way faster on my computer, no bloat, and this Pacman is awesome, The only thing I miss from ubuntu is the administration menu.. ( I use Gnome by the way). But otherwise I just want to say hello and thanks to everyone involved with Arch for creating a great, clean, fast distro.
Thanks and hello again to everyone

Welcome to the Arch community
And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found.
"This is it... this is where I belong..."

Make sure you have the "unstable" repo enabled (uncommented) in /etc/pacman.conf !
pacman -S gnome-system-tools
That will install some of them at least, you'll possibly find some other admin apps in pacman as well...

cool thanks, I hadn't enabled the unstable repo.. is there a way to browse available packages that are in the repos?
Thanks

You can do it right through the archlinux.org website. Or, if you enable the repo, you can do pacman -Sl unstable.
