Just thought I'd post a little something saying thanks to the Arch devs and community for the great distribution and documentation. I'm switching over from Gentoo / Ubuntu. I had Gentoo on my desktop for the longest time, then got into Ubuntu for a while, becoming active in the community there by answering questions in the forums. Eventually, I heard about Arch, and decided to check it out. I first installed "Don't Panic" in a VirtualBox virtual machine on my evil Vista laptop (I have heat and sound issues, at least in Ubuntu. It's a Toshiba Satellite P105-6227) and got hooked. What's cool is that when I decided to take the plunge on the desktop, I have a functional system in about 30 minutes. That's even shorter than Ubuntu took me.

Basically, I've found a new home in Arch. I'm going to partition my laptop and see if Arch digs my laptop a bit better than Ubuntu, then hopefully I can completely remove Vista. So, once again, thanks to everyone involved in Arch. I only have one slight issue to work out, and that's my fonts. I've been over the documentation and wiki, but there's still something causing a few fuzzy fonts.

Hi and welcome to Arch.
Shining will take your coat, Cerebral has plenty of spirits at the bar, cactus will be by with a taco platter, kth5 will be serving up your meal shortly and please enjoy Leigh on stage.

What's your poison?

lucke · 2007-09-11 13:58:44

<chimes>
I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains
</chimes>

Enjoy Arch, Endperform.

Me like fuzzy. Ugh! Hit monitor, font good again.

Misfit - nice.

Endperform - I'll add my welcomes here too. Re your laptop's heat and sound issues, hopefully Arch, and the community, will inspire you (and help you) to fix them too.

Another welcome from me. I just recognized that we are among the communities (if not the one) which greet newbies the utmost friendly way we can.

Feeling home just some seconds beyond arrival. Nice job!

Endperform · 2007-09-12 12:27:53

Yeah, it's good stuff here indeed.

Cerebral: I'll take a shot of Yaegermeister straight up heh

Tomk: I'll probably give it a go shortly. It's running great on the desktop and in virtualbox on my laptop. My main concern is custom DSDT support, which it looks like can be set up from the get-go. I'll keep everyone posted. Last night I got my first taste of AUR... man, I'm hooked now.

I didn't know that that kind of stuff is even existent on the other edge of the great lake.

They can't spell it right though...

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-09-13 18:49:30

Yeah, they spell it in a funny way, but that's mostly because of their lack of umlauts. English lacks them and I'm glad it does.

Here in the U.S. at least, we spell it Jägermeister.
