Arch Linux on Distrowatch.com again!

Here:

http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20050214

About a third of the way down the page.  More kind words from Ladislav.  Nice guy. 

Also, Arch is now in the top 20 distros based on hits on distrowatch.com's Arch page.  Comes up in the top 20 for all views up to 12 months.

I know alot of us are against Arch taking over the world...but...

Hurrah, Arch!

Re: Arch Linux on Distrowatch.com again!

I think Arch is going mainstream

or is it

We´ll have to wait and see...

Edit:
Its quite a nice review by the way, lately i´ve been seeing a lot of Arch reviews all around, i might get to do one my self soon, and i might even do it in Spanish... but i dont know about this, maybe this will help get Arch localized, or at least make a bigger spanish-talking community.

Arch is currently number 13 in the last one month list at distrowatch. Its only a matter of time before Arch reach the top ten and become a major Linux distro.

Re: Arch Linux on Distrowatch.com again!

Don't worry dp, the last month stats on distrowatch fluctuate wildly with the site's recent content. In the long term Arch is hovering around the 20th place for quite a while now.

Besided, if Arch stays as it is (in philosophy) and more people start using it, then that can't be a bad thing, can it?

Re: Arch Linux on Distrowatch.com again!

there's a big point in having too much people... the forum will become more useless as much more posts get unanswered because there's no way to follow too much new topics per day.

I think that there should be an option in the forum to mark a question as awaiting response or already answered, (the View unanswered only shows posts that have 0 replies, but there are much more awaiting response topics that already have replies).

Another think that would be usefull would be to have the ability to summarize a topic. So when you view the topics' titles in a search, you can also see the summaries. and quickly know if that is what you  are looking for.
In example, imagine you search for ati and get this results. It is not the same to have this:

ati drivers
ati drivers not working
help with ati
graphic's card configuration

than this:

ati drivers - this topic has no useful content
ati drivers not working - this topic explains how to fix red flashing lines bug
help with ati - this topic is a comparisson between ati and nvidia
graphic's card configuration - this topic is an overview on how to configure xorg

An excellent suggestion. Now only to find a phpBB hacker who can implement this in a reliable manner. :-)

Re: Arch Linux on Distrowatch.com again!

first of all i'd like to see more stickies!
if a moderator finds a topic that was there before several times he should mark it sticky or post something meaningful with references.very much like:

READ THIS before asking about ati drivers

and whatever might be put into a post like this, only thing that matters is that it refers to someplace with possible solutions etc.
