I appreciate

I was having issues with Chakra I guess because of the updates you released.  I had tried Arch Linux with a ATI card but it would not work.  I did not ask questions on here as I was told to get an Nvidia which I did finally get.  I thought that I had to use kdemod to get the latest KDE but I was surprised to learn that you were releasing this.  I was having issues with Audex as it could not see my cd drive even though other software did see it.  Chakra released kdemod pacman which was fine but it took away some of the software I could install.  I decided to just wipe my system clean and try our Arch again.  I had a very old installer but it worked great as it has in the past.  It updated all the software unlike other distributions that you need to do some tricks to get the latest KDE or to even install KDE 4.  I installed yaourt and installed Audex again and now I have no problems with it.  I also like that I can install just what I want.  I had a few issues with it recognizing my printer which other distributions have not had the problem with but of course since you can pick what you want to install this was not installed.  The wiki made this is an easy step and walked me through what I had to do.  I really appreciate all the hard work that is being done.  I am glad that I have options and this time I plan on sticking with arch and not install any thing else.  I like the community and the help that is offered.  I appreciate how easy it is to install the latest and greatest.  It has burnt me in the past but I know their is help out there if this happens again.
