Just wanted to say THANKS!

I have been using Arch as a Perl development environment for some homegrown Perl applications I host on my server, and today I had need for a Network Packet Analyzer to view some HTTP traffic my scripts generate.  Someone suggested I use Wireshark, but when I visited their website, I discovered they didn't have a package I could use with Arch.

Needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to the prospect of compiling it from source.  So, I turned to good old trusty pacman, and what do you know?  Arch already had a Wireshark package!  It was as easy as:

pacman -S wireshark

BOOM!, there it was, ready to go!

Just another affirmation that Arch lives up to its KISS ideology.  Thanks!
