Yes drastically different

Um, for downloading a youtube video with wget, no, no they wouldn't be.

Yes, with no indication in reply to a genuine (and fairly reasonable, if you remember being a newbie to linux) question.

LOL ok thanks for your educational reminder. Next time I will RTFM of n00bs before replying to something that deserves as much of a poking as it does an answer. Honestly to me if you are using a different OS, make no claim to using Arch and you decide to post to here to find an answer, a poking is well deserved.

Hey guys I was just wondering how to fix my honda civic so I decided to post to the ford mailing list... does anyone know how to start the car? I haven't bothered to read the manual sitting in my glove compartment... Calvin

First step find a Rolls mechanic at the ford shop ;) lol

To the OP: I had Mint Lisa installed and dropped it. I recommend to install Arch Linux or to replace Mint by Ubuntu Studio Precise (don't care about the "studio", the important thing is the default DE). I've got a Linux multi boot machine, Arch Linux is amazing, but you need to do a lot yourself. Ubuntu Studio Precise has advantages and disadvantages compared to Arch Linux. IMO Mint isn't a good choice. Just 2 Cents, Ralf

You ... pretty much have to regardless.

A poking, or an RTFM, sure. All I'm saying is that what you posted doesn't help the noob. RTFM helps the noob. Pointing out that this place has nothing to do with Mint, even mockingly (even at Drepper levels of intensity), helps the noob. "Making a joke" that is only a joke to people who know enough not to do the thing the noob did does not help the noob. It's not your responsibility to help, it's also not your responsibility to hinder. We were all dumb noobs once, and I for one don't feel good if I plant misinformation in someones head, intentionally or not. YMMV, of course.

seriously to funny if the OP would have taken my joke seriously it would have/should have lead him to doing more research. Which is what they were lacking, obviously by posting to Arch mailing lists. It is not like I said rm -rf / or some malicious suggestion. The +1's are as pointless and unhelpful to the OP as my "joke"

It's not about commands. Archlinux is a different distribution than linux mint. This list mainly involves arch related discussions. As for linux mint mailing list: http://librelist.com/browser/linuxmint/ (it's not an official list) You will be better off using linux mint forums: http://forums.linuxmint.com/ PS: Just curious, how did you land on arch mailing list? Are you using arch too? Also, please learn to use search engines.
