Arch Linux D news digest

[Atila Neves]

I switched to Arch from Kubuntu a few months ago and I'm never 
looking back. It's definitely not for everyone since setting up 
is a pain and some favour stability over having the newest, shiny 
toys. For me, I wanted a distro that has the latest and greatest 
that I can make as minimal as possible, with a great package 
management system. And that's Arch.

Give it a whirl in a VM and judge for yourself. I was worried for 
a while about leaving the Ubuntu-derived distros and missing out 
on packages but Arch seems to have everything I want in the 
official repositories. In the rare case it doesn't, it's in the 
AUR and easily installed anyway.

To the original poster: thanks and good work!
