Finally installed archlinux
November 5, 2008 – 10:35 pmThat’s it, the new ubuntu was coming and I was thinking, I’ll get gimp 2.6 and tabs in nautilus … But I should wait a few days before updating cause update is always buggy the first days …
And fuck that I wanted to install archlinux anyway (it’s just that I needed to backup my whole computer and felling very lazy about it) so I overcame my laziness and finally got into the wonderfull world of arch pacman and yaourt.
Pacman is the package manager used by arch and it is great, making a new package is really really simple which means that you can make your own package when installing software from source. Also arch has a good number of compiled packages, not as many as debian but quite a lot. And it has a huge number of source packages that can be installed really easily by using yaourt. Yaourt makes installing anything as easy as typing
yaourt anything
Oh and the archlinux wiki is great. Making the install really easy.
