yes sir I have, Well after I installed arch all I got is a terminal, I'm a little confused since I'm using aptitude(Ubuntu) and I'm totally taken out by this pacman. How can I install a desktop environment.? Thanks

Have you got to the bit in the Beginners' Guide about installing X?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide
If you work through the guide step-by-step, you should be OK.
First X, then your DE or WM.
Good luck. And if it goes pear shaped, post the problems here...

I have seen a couple of threads recently where new users have installed Arch, without consulting the Beginners Guide. I know this has been mentioned already. But this is for every new user out there who ever wants to try out/use Arch. Read the Beginners Guide.
Then once you are done, Read it again !!
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

hey if you don't really need of GNOME you don't need GDM and if u won't use KDE you don't need KDM..
just look for "xdm" or another login screen manager
btw: you should check for the X-server (in ARCH) because in ubuntu you already have it installed and configured
edit: look the wiki entry here

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

ok ok. Please teach me on how to add repository since I have the full CD installer. Does it include the XORG? So I would not have to download? and how to add the cd into the repository? thanks!

The CD doesn't have xorg on it. You need to get it via pacman as the wiki page teaches. Once you've downloaded packages once, they go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and will stay there unless you remove them. If you wanna install Arch on a new PC, simply copy over the contents of that dir to the new machine to avoid having to re-download the content.
You might wanna read the pacman page on the wiki too.
