Arch Linux: Why It Rocks (OS News)
OSNews reviews Arch
Linux. "Arch is an i686-optimized Linux distributions based upon
the ideas of CRUX and Slackware. It incorporates their stability, speed and
most of all, their keep-it-simple philosophy. When Judd Vinet started Arch
towards the end of 2001 he did it because he needed n operating system that
resembled CRUX or Slackware but with a package manager that had the ability
to track dependencies. So he sat down, used LFS to put together his distro
and wrote 'pacman' from scratch, his minimalistic and yet very usable,
package manager."
