Arch Linux 2007.8

I have started trying out Arch Linux. Really fun to try out a Linux distro that makes you install and tweak nearly everything. It takes quite a lot of time and reading to get going, but it is really rewarding.

I have tried to install it on my main Linux-box, but I am having some issues with my network-settings. However, in VirtualBox it runs really well.

I have used four great resources for my install:

• The Arch Linux Wiki
• The Linux Install Podcast, episode 37: Arch Linux part 1
• The Linux Install Podcast, episode 38: Arch Linux part 2
  
• Linux Reality Podcast, episode 70: Arch Linux

I had a lot of challenges installing Arch. You need to do a lot of manual configuring to get it to work properly. However, it gives you a great insight into how the OS works.

Edit: I've solved the network issue on my main box, thanks to Ed Labonte's comment at the end of his Linux Install Podcast, part 1.
