The Arch Linux definition of simple means that GUI tools should not hinder the full capability of individual software packages. However, I’ve come to learn that simple doesn’t mean easy. I visited various RPM distributions, including Red Hat, Mandrake, and SUSE, flirted with Gentoo, and jumped on the Ubuntu bandwagon, but I could never find a single place to settle - until I tried Arch Linux.Īrch Linux is a bleeding-edge distribution built from the ground up using Linux From Scratch as a base with a driving philosophy: keep it simple.
I’ve been a Linux diehard since my early days with Debian 1.3.
