Which was your distro before use Arch Linux?

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

All started because I’ve made some changes to my Arch Linux computer, and it stopped working, I needed something to work, and because the installation process of Arch Linux is not that easy or at least not that fast, I decided to go with Debian.

it sounds to me like Arch is just the best fit for you ...and i can share my own perspective on the matter...I've used many many distro's; gentoo (and a few derivatives), Fedora (and a few remixes), Ubuntu (and many of it's derivatives), puppy (and...same goes..), slackware, FreeBSD, PClinuxOS, debian (various versions), etc, etc....i haven't found any distribution that i like

Until now I have been always using Debian in my servers while Arch Linux as my Desktop and Laptop's operating systems. A week ago I decided to run Arch Linux in one of my servers, and yes, there are some differences, for instance Apache, where even the name of the daemon is different (Apache2 in Debian and httpd in Arch Linux).

talking of system installation and maintenance, i wonder how hard slack can be when compared to debian.i've never tried slack before. is it on the same level as arch ? is slack faster than debian ? where are the benefits (if any) ?

hello from belgium.Watching the progress of #! and thinking of replacing my Zenwalk distro just to play with a (good) Debian Style distro instead of a (good) Slackware style distro.In fact, the main reason is to have acces to the repository of Debian which is quite bigger than the ones for Slackware/ZW.Cheers,-S

Hey,I'm currently runing a server using Debian, but sorely miss Arch linux' rolling release system.The server is running a 4 disk mdadm RAID array which I would be veru sorry to loose or corrupt.Is it possible to just install arch and then have arch assemble the array as is, or will itneed to delete the content on the disks in order to assemble a new array?I know it is possible to assemb

If you do not have time to read the wiki and manual, you will experience a great deal more breakage - and waste a lot more time - than you need to.That said, if you did not have time to keep Debian up to date, why on Jupiter did you choose Arch?I do not mean to be unwelcoming. Of course, you are most welcome, if you really want to use Arch. But do you?

Yes, that seems about right.  Is there a question?The default arch installation image is bigger than the mini debian image (but much smaller than the default debian).  If you want an arch installer that small, you've already been told how to acheive it.  Why do you keep posting the same description of the differences?
