The developers at the ArchBang project have announced the arrival of a new version of their Linux distribution. Based on the Arch Linux rolling release distribution, ArchBang is described as a simple and lightweight system aimed at Linux users who want to customise it to suit their needs. Unlike Arch Linux, ArchBang uses the minimalistic Openbox window manager with support for its pseudo-tiling functions.
