Re: Thoughts on Arch Linux

A year old thread... ccc...

I really like Arch also and the fact you can customize it anyway you want. For me since Oct. 07 I installed Arch Don't panic and everything worked like a charm. Then in Feb 08 I reinstalled Arch with my same disk and found my video driver not to work when I did pacman -Syu I broke pacman or I just couldn't figure out how to make configure it the way the new one was suppose to be. I just can't see rationally why things are updated to frequently. I something is not broke don't fix it. More energies can be devoted to other things. I consider my self a moderate intermediate Linux user a little more past beginner but not dead center intermediate. Probably more like Yellow belt in Karate almost ready to take the Orange belt course.

There's so much choice... Why using arch then? With your needs you might be more happy with slackware.
