Arch Linux
Nowadays I find myself using Windows less and less, aside from the occasional game that doesn't work with Wine. When it comes to desktop operating systems (OS) I am extremely picky. Heck I attempted to use FreeBSD (yes, the server OS) as a desktop OS for many years until finally admitting to myself that things I wanted for that OS just were not going to happen. As of 2010 I had been fishing around for new flavors of Linux to try out. I figured how hard could it be, after all my first dive into *nix/*bsd was with Slackware in 1998. I tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, and a few others before finally hearing about Arch Linux. From the moment I installed it I was hooked, whether its the extensive ArchWiki, or the fact that the Arch Linux Forums hostname is an homage to the old BBS systems of yesteryear *tear*. Getting into Arch Linux was really easy as someone coming from FreeBSD being that pacman is very similar to ports.
Obtaining & Installing Arch Linux
Arch Linux can be installed via USB, a burned disc, and netboot. All available images can be burned to a CD, mounted as an ISO file, or be directly written to a USB stick using a utility like `dd`. These are intended for new installations only; an existing Arch Linux system can always be updated with `pacman`. The following is a list of links to get you started on obtaining and installing Arch Linux.
