iphitus Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 http://archlinux.org/news/337/ Latest installment of Arch Linux, this one, based on 2.6.22. As always, the nearly latest versions of nearly everything are available in the repos, and you get the great "simple" Arch system. ISO's available for both x86_64 and i686 (>=Pentium II).

ianw1974 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Might have to try arch again soon. I have the need, the need for a new distro (or one I've tried, to try again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Personally I'm disappointed with the trends on pacman3. While it is a major leap forward, it still has a few major issues... It would be better to adopt the (apparently working) pacman3 patches from Frugalware and move ahead instead of getting in that mess and declaring war against them... Still, Arch is the no.1 distro for me- pacman, aur and kiss is an irrestistible combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many patches will be in pacman 3.1. The aim of pacman 3 was to stabilise libalpm, fix up the bugs, and ensure it was working a lot better. pacman 3.1, already has, and will have many of the feature requests closed off and added. Pretty sure a 3.1 release was planned "soon" but you're free to grab it from cvs. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
