Comments in response to an Arch review

Thought this was an amusing turn about:

March 2nd, 2010 at 18:04
Most people try Arch because they think they're being clever. All this stuff about Arch being difficult to install is just rubbish, it's time consuming, not difficult. And after all that setting up you've got a system that's no better than Ubuntu that installs in less than half an hour. I actually found Ubuntu 9.04 to boot and run quicker than Arch + Xfce4. One other thing, about the Arch forums…it's a boring place….lots of people slapping themselves on the back and thinking that they're clever because they're using a system that needs constant repairing thanks to 'pacman -Syu'. Arch is for people with more time than sense. Arch fanboys are worse than mac fanboys. Not only do they think that everything else is wrong and bad, but they try to convert everyone to their cause.

Ok, I just gave Arch Linux much more time even though I put some bad things about it above. It has been stable and fast and I like it… no wonder it has so many fanboys I have to admit it's real good though.

Whether he's right or wrong, kudos for admitting the change of heart. Very rare, that.

Just ignore the bait. Not sure the second post is from the same person, but if so -

kudos for admitting the change of heart.

I did wonder...  Sorry if it's arrived here many times.  I should've taken the time to Google!

I rather enjoyed your original 'proof-by-exhaustion' approach.

As for the OP, déjà vu. I was just talking about this.
