I have been using linux since 2 months now and I tried several distro's. The only ones that satisfied me for both speed and configurability are arch and gentoo. I'm still finding out how all things work but it works good enough for me. What kept me fom going to linux earlier was the lack of a good dvd9todvd5 gui solution. Untill I found ldvd, it works like a charm, but on some pc's I get errors when compiling it ad and others it works while I guess I do it all same. On my laptop it won't work and since ldvd is in the portage of gentoo I installed gentoo on my laptop. But I'm getting sick of all the compilin some times with emerge and therefore I would like to just pacman -S ldvd. I just love pacman and on my p3 500 arch linux is fast, awesome, snappy, clean and almost perfect. If the packages you can install with pacman grow some more arch will win a lot of windows users and would provide a very good alternative for gentoo users who like to try another distro to with no time to wait untill it all compiled.

use the search function.. its your friend
if you havent installed a PKGBUILD before, do this
su
mkdir -p /var/abs/local
cd /var/abs/local
// PACKAGE_NAME = whatever you want
mkdir PACKAGE_NAME
cd PACKAGE_NAME
vim PKGBUILD
// paste the PKGBUILD into this file
// do the same for any other files there may be, ie *.install *.patch, etc
makepkg
pacman -A packagename-pkgversion.tar.gz
glad you enjoy arch linux.. its pretty damn kick arse imo too!
ill never touch another distro EVER
