Re: Arch Review Raiden's Realm

Looking good.

Check the third post in the discussion thread : http://forums.raiden.net/viewtopic.php?t=10613

It shows a comment on a newbie guide from someone who thinks they are no newbie anymore but makes numerous newbie mistakes.
(the bold part below)

Newbies have to understand physical(first) and logical(second and beyond) partitions in hdd. Then the partitioning methods of Linux including Fdisk(Slackware), partition magic, etc.

All Linux distros use lilo or Grub for bootloader to put the distro in the correct partition; which can do windows dual boot or multiple Linux boot.

Often Linux with file system uses ext2, ext3, or reiser4fs as a partition(file with FAT table) residing in the same windows physical partition. If you only have Linux(physical partition) in your computer, second linux distro must be installed in a logical partition. Otherwise the file system(same file name) of both distros may be corrupted during installation to the hdd.

This means you have to avoid using the same file system when two linux distros reside in the same physical partition or logical partition. If one uses ext3, then the other should use ext2 or reiser4fs?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: Arch Review Raiden's Realm

This Arch installation guide was referred to in this thread

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34421

before it was on Raiden's Realm, and is still available on the web site listed in the thread.

There is also a ssh / sshfs guide here
