Here's a brief
look at Arch Linux, on NewsForge. "The philosophy of Arch is to
let people have as much control over their system as possible. Nothing is
on unless you turn it on. This means that a base install of Arch is very
fast. On top of that the boot scripts are very simple, making them easy to
edit. The philosophy is evident in Arch's hardware detection tool, hwd. The
tool gives information that lets users set up their computers manually, but
does not change the system configuration."
