Thanks for the Appreciation.

BTW I use the theme Garland. I took it and changed colors using built-in color chooser. That’s all.

[...] ArchLinux follows KISS(Keep it Simple) pricipal, so its default install, core system only. No X server would be installed.which means you can install each and every package based on your needs Check this for review: Life on the cutting edge – ArchLinux � The Smaller Bang [...]

I’ve just switched to Arch64, from a nice ubuntu 8.04 installation I had… I’ve chosen to stick to Gnome, even If I plan to try lighter DEs (I’m on a Athlon X2 2200Mhz per core, 2GB ram and radeon 3870, gnome isn’t sluggish, but speed is always welcome).

In a couple of days I’ve managed to configure and install all, from flash64, to the 64 java plugin, catalyst drivers, compiz, and all the programs I use.

But NOT those I don’t need… and the services and daemons I wont ever need. And the speed is really repaying the little more effort during the installation.

Should I call it effort? It’s been Fun. As I suppose it should be for an intermediate linux user, coming from usual out-of-the-box distros.

I don’t think I’ll feel the urge to look for something different… maybe to try another DE, but still in Arch.

Thanks for the article =)

I switched from legacy OS, to GNU/Linux in Jan08, starting with Ubuntu 8.04 in Acer Travelmate 291Lci. Now I am using Arch Linux with gnome. I could feel the difference in speed.
In my opinion all Linux Distros are good in one way or the other.
First time my arch installation took more than 4 hours and in the second instance it was only 12 minutes to boot the system with base installation.
I feel that after a roll up since all applications are not tested some applications fail to work and always go for the work around. Any how currently I am sticking to Arch and hope we will make it better.

I wanted to add that Openbox and Arch Linux mix perfectly. They’re both about working perfectly, with no bullshit. Openbox is the lightest WM I’ve ever found that still looks good.
