A Week in the Life of an Arch Linux Newbie (OSNews)
OS News has published a review
of ArchLinux. "ArchLinux quotes itself as being "an i686-optimized
linux distribution targeted at competent linux users." Part of its
philosophy is that by not providing you with lots of configuration
utilities, you are forced to "learn the ropes" and you will benefit from
the additional knowledge acquired. A sensible approach you may think, and
is fine for experienced and/or fearless techies. You know that this isn't
going to be the distro to recommend to your mother! But, I wouldn't say
ArchLinux is elitist as some readers may fear. Sure, you will be frowned
upon (to put it mildly) if you ask questions in the forums that are
blatantly answered in the main documentation. However, expecting users to
actually edit the appropriate config files manually isn't a bad thing in my
opinion."
