This is a totally uninformative "I did it" post. I just installed alsa and got sound set up, installed tux racer and the 1.1.1 patch, and I am totally finished setting up arch Linux. It took over a month, but let's blame dialup for that.
I want to thank the developers for designing the only distro that totally suits me, now I don't have to do it. I want to thank the maintainers for keeping the packages up to date and out of conflict. I want to thank the contributers for such a wide array of packages, I hardly had to install anything locally. I want to thank the people who helped me with some of the problems I had getting familiar with Arch. I want to thank the authors of the few howtos that have been written. I want to thank the people who embarrassed me, and the person who insulted me, I'm much more cautious about what I say now, and moe importantly, I have a little more humility.
The best things about Arch are the ability to choose betwee binaries and source installs (pacman and ABS), and the ability to easily integrate a source-based install into the package management system. It is a completely extensible distro.

good job.... with respect to the patch you mention .... is that for tuxracer? is it open source? can you post the patch?
you may also want to post a bug report about that patch. as the former maintainer of tuxracer i was not aware of it.

Sorry, I misworded that. I have the 1.1 (purchased) version of tux racer. There is a problem with it on linux (something to do with glx) and there is a patch available from the tuxracer site to fix it. The patched version is called 1.1.1.
