ARCH << Liquid Lemur

No, it's for making noobs into snobs. I've never come across such an arrogant linux community in my whole 17 odd years of using linux - and when I start talking #reallinux to the wannabes on #archlinux they STFU.

Yeah well it doesn't really matter what it looks like out of the box... as long as it's easy to install you can then build whatever desktop environment you want.

Anyway I'm going to take the plunge and migrate a few boxes to arch

alias crapman=pacman; crapman -Suy here we come

I thought this lemur thing was an arch fork too?

No, it uses Arch repos whereas Chakra uses its own

Meh and join the dark side ? I'll be installing but I'm only forcing myself as your AUR is very up to date - I'll still refuse to adopt the 'Arch way'.

It's like a flippin religion ! LOL
 
Just bumping this to say ...

Eventually I got round to installing Arch net-install and building it up purely and it's very clean, really nice. Nice init and package management, almost flawless AUR integration and I even submitted a kernel build patch when a pacman -Suy failed but here's the but....

Although I would say that it's the best choice for the experienced user it's just not for me to use in a production environment. Rolling releases brings to the table too much entropy for me to feel comfortable with.

Lovely to use if you want bleeding edge and the pain that goes with it
