Arch Linux - A distro collector's pick

Hi there

I have just submited an article about arch linux. You can read it at the following address: http://polishlinux.org/linux/arch-linux … tors-pick/

The article is mainly dedicated to some unexperienced distro travellers. By writing it, I was about to encourage them to try something even more ambitious than just another "user friendly distribution" since, with a bit of effort, you can get something really, really amazing. I wanted to prove, that it really doesn't matter how "easy" a distro can be, since it may spend much more time on fixing a potential problems, when you're forced to rely on someones else choice. Well I hope you'll enjoy reading this, and find this article interesting. Who knows, maybe it could be included in furthcoming Arch Linux Newsletter issue?

Great article, found a mistake I think. "You shouldn't forget to create a new user, so that make Arch more secure"

Edit: Err, I meant there was a grammar error, not that what you said is wrong. tongue

Re: Arch Linux - A distro collector's pick

Thanks for your feedback. It's always nice to hear some good opinions smile. Oh, by the way, I am sorry for the brazen advertisment. Well, at least some of you might thought so. Please, don't treat it as a spam since I just wanted to share my thoughts with community. I realize it might be too much as for first post though. Anyways, I am a regular Arch Linux user not a bot, I swear smile. Encouraged by these good opinions, there's no other way but perform a sequel as quick as possible tongue

Yes, that is indeed what I wanted to say. Why did you ask? There is no other version available so far, but I would gladly see it though if you think it's worth to translate. Unfortunately I don't have a time to do it on my own...

Re: Arch Linux - A distro collector's pick

I had bookmarked polishlinux a little while back, and had read the article when it came out. I did not notice your thread till today.

It is a very good article! I enjoyed it and your site. I hope that it takes off.


I keep getting distracted from my webserver project...

huh? oooh...  shiny!
