In under an hour, I had a working Arch system up and running, along side of my main Kubuntu and windows installations. I consider my linux skills to be very novice, and I did this with no problems and I understood the entire processs. I want to formally thank you all for the guides and information herer that have helped me do this flawlessly. Now comes the fun part of configuring and building my system! One more Kubuntu user on the way out!

This is new, open a thread to say thanks.

Yea well, its nice to be praised for helping people. Most people use boards to find answers to problems, and all too often people post a new thread without throughly searching for an answer. When they solve their problem, thats it, they go away. I figured I would reinforce the hard work everyone has done by prainsing their work, and thanking them for such an easy installation process, and what I hope to be an easier time building up my system. I'm excited because this means I have more skills with Linux than I thought.

Welcome to arch! with an attitude like that I think you've found the right distro hope to hear more from you in the forums.

Ghost1227 · 2010-02-26 18:37:52

Welcome aboard! Glad to see that someone appreciates all the work done by the community.

Welcome to the club. Although I'm not new to Linux, I am new to Arch and I am loving it. I like the speed, and the fact that pacman pkgs work well with other custom compiled apps. Gotta love it. I've noticed the community is little more professional too. Normally when you ask questions on various Linux forums you get typical "hey idiot check google" type responses on most Linux forums.

Roline · 2010-02-26 19:18:55

I'll join you, thank you arch community!

Yeah, most of us can barely stand this dreadful distro and wish secretly that we had our old windows back.

But hey, I'm stuck here and so are you now

Peasantoid · 2010-02-26 21:58:40

Welcome. You are one of the few who posts your gratitude for the entire world to see. (I might be guilty of not doing this...)

Gen2ly · 2010-02-26 23:38:45

Looking forward to additional posts. Welcome to the community, jimburnettva.

Welcome to the forums jvaldezjr. Enjoy your stay in this very strange place.

n0dix · 2010-02-27 04:41:16

@jvaldezjr, maybe you want to say hello in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=716822

Welcome

Arch's power is it's community over all, which gives power to both the distro and the devs' work. Except for that, it it's overall transparency and lack of complexity of other distros, especially on the devs' work and the packaging, which is much easier on Arch, and AUR is a proof of that. By giving to the user the ability to handle the system without problems, having a rolling release system that very few problems, mostly caused upstream, AND create packages so easily, that makes Arch so attractive as a distro.

It is time to create a new acronym: YASAU (Yet Another Satisfied Arch User).

Welcome to the forums.

gymophett · 2010-02-27 08:47:27

Welcome to Arch. I'm new to Arch too, and the Wiki was absoloutly amazing. Thank you Arch community!
Arch is by far the best distro!

Runiq · 2010-02-27 08:58:32

I don't want to spoil the fun for anyone, but don't we already have something like this?

Oh well, who cares. Welcome, everyone! (And welcome, Peasantoid )

When a new user posts to say thank you instead of "Arch is run by retarded monkeys", it's nice to have it's own thread.

fsckd · 2010-02-27 19:19:12

So is this now the official "Thank you" thread?

No. It' the official "Arch is NOT run by retarded monkeys" thread.

jvaldezjr · 2010-02-28 01:32:30

I never thought my post would get so much attention. LOL. I'm not much of a board troll either, I think in the 5 years I used Ubuntu, I posted maybe 100 posts on the forums.

mythus · 2010-02-28 12:47:35

Here Here!

Arch has always been the only distro to satisfy my picky nature and it's wiki and community support is incomparable in all of linux-land.

Oftentimes when I read a new user post something here I have to wonder "is this really the distro that best suits them?" Well with you I feel confident that this distro is perfect for you. You obviously seem to have the right mindset for it! So welcome to the wonderful world of arch linux! Enjoy yourself, and beware of the terrible WM addiction that you are sure to experience .

You're right, of course.

Arch: Not run by retarded monkeys.
