The OS News interview is up: http://www.osnews.com/story/22692/Arch_Linux_Team
Fun interview. Allan's answers are the best, I have to say :) Some comments : - a few formatting issues. like the first reply from Thomas often misses a newline. Allan lost his A and became llan and one page. - whats the difference between these two questions on page 5 : What part of the Arch Linux development is the most active? Where is development primarily focused for the Arch Linux team (the installation, pacman, etc)? - about this question One of the most notable characteristics of Arch is its rolling release model, which assures users that they will always have the latest and newest version of a program available. Has this model brought any noticeable disadvantages (for example: programs that depend on older libraries who aren't on the system anymore because of an update)? I am not sure what the question meant to hint with "programs that depend on older libraries who aren't on the system anymore because of an update" but that reminded me of several times I tried to run some binaries on Arch, and it failed because all libraries were too new. :)
