Arch and Pacman

linux-howto

http://crunchbanglinux.org – For those of you more experienced with Arch Linux, are there any good GUI frontends for Pacman?  I know from this list that there are some out there:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … _FrontendsBut, I'm wanting personal input in case I decide to play with Arch.  The disclaimer on the above link about none of those programs being officially supported makes me wary that a GUI would screw something up and that I would be better off using CLI for Pacman.Thanks for your help.

pacman-contrib compatability 21 weeks 2 days ago

Hi all, I'm wanting to clean out my pacman cache as it's getting rather full of packages that I no longer use, and I noticed that the arch wiki recommends using paccache from pacman-contrib (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … n-contrib/).

In an rpm-based system, that rpm command lists all installed packages and verifies them against the metadata in the rpm database. To me, this might produce an equivalent output in Arch...pacman -QkIf not, then study the pacman man page and Archwiki.
