[arch-general] First install of gnome on Arch, pretty cool... (new artwork this time :-)
Guys, Looking at the new desktop, I just had to take a screenshot and share. I never install gnome, but since I had enlightenment installed and a bunch of bits and pieces of gnome installed --> Why not? Working with it for a short period of time, I was quite pleased with it. Compiz works great with it, dark themes work as well. The base install is really crisp like kde3 was. (but like any desktop, you load it down with enough bells and whistles it slows down a bit) Long story short, I created a new cube cap for Arch (since it was pointed out my first set was of the old logo) and when done, I just had to send the screenshot in, so: (82k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ss/arch/archGnomeCompiz.jpg The Artwork for the caps: (108k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/compiz/archCaps.png If you like the artwork, use it at will... -- David C.

Amen, When I thought about trying Arch, I never envisioned replacing SuSE with Arch, but "never-say-never." Arch is just so much better thought out from the technical aspect of "how do you create and maintain an efficient and clean distro?" that I was hooked as soon as I figured out what pacman was and what ABS was all about. The rolling release, the proactive (as opposed to reactive) development, the near unanimous use of unaltered sources, and the focus on documentation for the user (the really good wiki) really shows you what a Linux distro can and should be. (of course it takes some brilliant and dedicated developers as well) January will mark a decade for me with Linux (Mandrake 7.0 "air" was my first install, then mandy imploded after going public and I went to SuSE 8.0 pro [comment omitted concerning the result of failing to learn from history...], and then I wound up here. (just don't go public or get bought for a little while ;-) Arch is a keeper.... I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Arch developers have created something they should really be proud of. There are quite a few distros that try to do Linux, very few get it right, and even fewer do it so well they get to watch what they have created start to grow. Great job and thanks! -- David C.
