Re: Nice Arch Review

It has an error saying arch is based on slackware, while its based on or similar to crux.

Also arch ain't hard to install, only thing you need to know what to install since the last time i checked devs still have pretty sane defaults on most/all application configs. (I'm sure they'll change them to less sane ones as soon as ppl least expect it )

but nice review nevertheless, thanks!

Made a comment regarding FaunOS as an alternate install method. 

Like his honesty!

I was going to do the same... but was quickly hit by a wave of indifference.

Re: Nice Arch Review

I think the author is making it sound harder than it really is.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

I am going to agree here.
