Arch Linux for the DIY Linux user
Posted on July 17th, 2008 at 5:19 am
There’s no dearth of Linux distributions for desktop users or even for running high availability servers. But if you are a do-it-yourself computer user, your choice of Linux distros is fairly limited. You can build Linux from scratch with Linux from Scratch or compile your own set of packages with Gentoo. But if you want a distro that teaches you the basics of Linux as you set it up; is well documented, lightweight, and zippy; and has a dependency-resolving packaging system, you need Arch Linux.
disclaimer: Yup I run Arch do to some poking and prodding by LC, it is a handful to configure but once up and running is smooth,trouble free, and yes fast as all get out, Baldy
