Arch Linux review

[ Thanks to Go2Linux for this link. ]

"pacman was developed by Jud Vinet, the creator of Arch Linux specially for it, but now also frugalware uses it, pacman is a great tool, fast and capable of keeping your system up to date and also can install user's compiled software using ABS (Arch Linux Build System).

"Default Desktop

"Arch Linux contrary to other Linux distributions does not has a default Desktop, you can install Gnome, OpenBox, KDE, or any other you may like and there are instructions in their wiki pages for each of them.

"Read this Xorg configuration wiki and Desktop Environments for Arch, to configure your system with your favorite Desktop Environment or window manager."
