Arch Linux Reviewed in Argentinian Magazine

sud_crow · 2006-02-13 20:00:26

Im happy to announce that after some work and evangelization, Arch Linux was reviewed in a local and quite popular Linux magazine here in Argentina. The magazine is called USERS Linux and its in Spanish. The review was followed by some questions they made me as admin of ww.archlinux.com.ar, if there is enough interest i will translate the article.

I collaborated on the article, so i cant say its "objective", its quite centred in the distribution and community, touching point by point the pluses and differences with others, we mention Arch64 and Archie as they had some good reasons to be on the article, the first being for those with 64bit procesors and want the best out of them, and the second for those who didnt want to risk to install Arch without trying it out first.

Congrats to Judd and all the developers, and i hope this gets us some more Spanish Talking users!

You can find a scan of each page here:

edit:
Changed the URL as the site changed hosting and I moved the whole system.

Thanks, sud_crow

I'd be interested in reading it as you have time to translate. Maybe some others will show interest to make it more worth your time.

Thanks again...

Yes, definately - a translation would be nice

Just started reading the article and found a mistake somewhere in the beginning: Arch does not work on K6-2, as it is i586.

Hi,
im going to start translating the articles, but i will go slow unless there is a bit more interest, either way, sooner or later it will be translated.

brain0:
Yes, your are right, i missed that. I will write them so they can print an "errata" on the next issue, there is also a typo, they printed CRUZ instead of CRUX.

On the other hand, although it has been talked to death, no-one actually tried Arch on a K6-2, so we dont know for sure if it works or not. According to several posts here and some sites found via google, AMDs K6-2 are missing a couple of functions necesary to be fully i686 compliant. They are pretty common in this latitudes, so maybe someone gives it a shot and we will know for sure once and for all!

Another vote for a translation - it would be good to see it.

I more or less read it. There is not much in there you wouldn't already have read in one of the English reviews that have been posted recently, still an interesting article to read. I'm afraid I can't offer help with the translation, my Spanish has suffered during the last few years.

The site is down due problems with the hosting, im moving to another as they lost part of the site after several intermitent hours and days of downtime.

Until further notice the only accesible part will be the forums.
Im sorry, as soon as i have news on this, i will post them here.

sud_crow · 2006-02-19 00:43:33

The site is working again, the only thing missing right now is the Wiki, at least until tomorrow.
The article has been moved to here:

http://www.archlinux.com.ar/blog/2006/0 … ers-linux/

Im editing the first post to reflect the change.
