VIA C7 and Arch

Hello!

I've bought a VIA motherboard with a C7 processor to work as NAS. Does Arch work on this type of CPU? I don't think so, but, just to know. At least, my laptop have arch :-)

Bye!

If I'm not mistaken, only some C3 cores aren't fully i686 compatible. Ergo, C7 should work.

Perfect!!!

I was learning debian via VirtualBox to make this new computer work as a server. But, i don't feel strong with that distribution. So, if arch works, i'll feel better, as i feel like i've the control.

One of the things that i don't like of other distros, is that i can't make an absolute minimal install (at least i don't know), and, once installed build the system. With this new PC, i'll can build the minimal, as explained in this post:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 46#p285446 (perhaps some things has changed)

Now, knowing that arch will be the OS, a new learnig step must be done by me: execute mldonkey as mldonkey-server in debian, and boot arch from a USB key. But these are another points.

Thanks!
