[arch-general] Arch Linux release Schedule
Hi all. I remember way back when Aaron G posted about how Arches goal would be to release every four months or so to keep up with regular kernel releases and frequent ISO images. However, I remember the last official Iso was in August of 2009. I am not saying that that is bad or anything. I am curious why there hasn't been a release since that time period? I never figured that out. I did send an email to our fine Arch Linux leader using a GMail address-and am curious if that address just isn't checked? I did send Aaron some other interesting emails of late as well. But I haven't received anything-though being a leader of a project such as Arch Linux must take up a lot of time. Take care! Regards, --Keith

Archlinux have rolling releases. You can use *netinstall*.iso for installing new software or just do `pacman -Syu` after install.

I second that. I have met someone who just can't easily install ArchLinux because his network card is supported only since the 2.6.33 kernel.
