Arch Voodoo Install
Arch has been my primary Linux distribution for two years and I dual boot it with Windows XP on my Thinkpad. I like Arch for its KISS principle, good speed and repository full of latest stable packages. According to Arch Wiki , Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users.
I wanted to check what it takes to build a highly usable Arch desktop from scratch, so when my father asked me to teach him how to use e-mail, I got the opportunity to revive my old Athlon XP 2400+ desktop and install Arch on it.
This document details my efforts to build a basic e-mailing and chatting Arch Desktop system (or is it much more than that ?) and to help others install a normal Arch desktop. Much has been said about Arch basic installation so I'll stress on the configurations which I did in order to customize my system.
