Arch Linux
Arch Linux has released v0.6
(widget). From the
announcement: "We've made a lot of improvements over the last
seven months, and hope you enjoy our efforts. We've seen a surge of
activity in the Arch community, and it's resulted in more documentation, a
huge increase in packages, and tons of useful information in our
forums. Keep it up everyone, Arch Linux is slowly becoming the mature
distribution we want it to be."

Arch Linux Posted Mar 4, 2004 12:25 UTC (Thu) by alspnost (subscriber, #2763) [Link] Arch is really nice - I'm a Gentoo man, but my laptop wouldn't really handle so, so I scouted round for an appropriate distro, and found Arch. It's instantly appealing: the simplicity of Slackware, the package management of Debian, and the up-to-date-ness of Gentoo are all combined very nicely.Highly recommended as a simple, robust and fast (i686-optimised) distro for those who want "purity" and total control. It's a "bare metal" install, but not exactly hard for those who are used to messing with disks etc.
