That's true. The challenge isn't installing Arch, but getting it functioning exactly the way you want it. Imho, it's actually a better place to start than Ubuntu because you learn so much more when you aren't even given a GDE to start out with.
Woot, new PC parts arrived today ^_^
Don't plan on staying on Vista for long, but I didn't feel like installing Arch and then doing a decent amount of work to get a decent setup going tonight.
Am getting new PC ^_^ Specs:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA770-DS3
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 @ 2.3ghz
RAM: 2 x 2GB DDR2 @ 1066mhz
HDD: 1TB WD Black
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 3780 w/ 512MB
All the parts should arrive by the 9th :3 So excited, especially for the 1TB because now I don't have to delete anything anymore to make room for new stuff. Still debating if I'm going to put Linux or Windows on it since BSD has crap support for 3D acceleration on ATI cards.
@Vicki: What script / app are you running to get your toolbar at the top with RAM, space, etc. notifications?
Anyways, here's the last screenshot before the new PC ^_^
I'm fine except I'm hyper so every so often I just HAVE to get up and move around or else I can't focus. Will probably be hurting later in life from the knuckle-cracking I have done though.
