The Arch Battle
Posted on January 27th, 2008 at 7:15 amWell we won the battle and finally got sound after fighting it for 2 days, listen up if you are planning to install Arch and run into the same silly problem, I had to add a Sound Group to make the sound work, I was told that all I had to do was make sure that my uses were all in the audio group they fibbed. So in the long run I have it installed and everything working just fine including the sound and it only took about 10 minutes to get it to recognize my local network and poof it was in.
Now that it is up and running what can I say about it? The first thing I can say is gawd it is fast, and I mean fast even when using KDE as a window manager. The second thing is the bleeding edge programs that the community seems to have a huge part in getting ready, a process that my favorite distro is just starting as of late. What that means is each one is installed tested and packaged for download and install by the users and made available to the general public for their own use.
I have to thank the one and only arch babe and my favorite babe LC. And for the record she is the one that suggested the sound group, so thanks kiddo. I will post some screenshots if and when I get the darn things posted I have them just not ready to post is all. I told you I was old and slow.
So in the end would I suggest this distro to a noob? The answer to that is not only no but hell no, would I suggest it to a newer user? Yes it makes for a great distro for people to learn linux from the ground up, even if it hates me you might have better luck with it. See you all later folks
