Arch Linux - a distro collector’s pick
Are you tired of frequent seeking or all these mega-piles of CDs constantly growing on your desktop? Is there any place left out there? Do you really need to wait another six months to update your software or get the feature you expect? Well, what I want to tell you is that there is a solution! Let me introduce to you, Arch Linux.
In this article I would like to encourage you to give it a try, especially if you’re a beginner since the advantages of using the distro are really worth your effort. I also realize that it might be somewhat problematic to some of you, but you’re not alone – there are tonnes of resources out there on the net, so you can safely accomplish the installation and eventually enjoy one of the best desktop distros available (in my opinion).
The recently released image allows you to pick one of several installation methods. You can use the most common FTP installation media which will download all base packages from the net, base installation, that contains all above on a single CD, or you can use a special image file, which can be used with USB sticks. The FTP installation will allow you to have the most recent packages, which you will have to update anyway when using a base-install CD, so it would be the best option to use this media in installation process.
