http://ubuntuforums.org – Has anyone come across a good, easy to follow manual for how to install Arch Linux? Ubuntu is my favorite distro and I'm currently using Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS, however I also like to try other systems as well. Recently I figured I'd try installing Arch through Virtual Box before commiting to installing on a real physical drive. The lack of a graphical installer sure makes things a lot tougher than I expected. I had read in multiple places that the Arch Wiki provided good detailed instructions for the installation, and it does. However, when I finally hit a roadblock was when I got to the pack (Hardware)

It’s been some four months since I’m not using my favorite Distro (Arch Linux), I’m now using Debian.

Arch Linux for the Photon 4G

About:Hey everybody! I've had my Photon for almost a year now, and absolutely love it. However, I have flashed the poor little thing to death, never quite happy with any particular ROMs. I've been using Arch Linux on my computer for a while now, and it's quickly become my favorite Linux distro.

I'm at a complete loss here. I've been using Linux as my main OS since 2005 and Arch since 2009. (Sometimes Arch still makes me feel like a newbie. This is one of those times.) I have Arch running on multiple PCs. I had grub 0.97 on them all.

Hello Arch Linux community,After usage of Ubuntu, I decided to move to Arch Linux because of its highly-customizable and flexible operating system.

[Arch] Thoughts on Arch Linux 1 year 20 weeks ago

Hello there I am new to Linux i have started using Ubuntu recently and I have also heard about Arch Linux. Can anyone please guide me? How good it is as a distro? What are its pros and cons?
