Arch Linux, which was inspired by the CRUX is an i686 optimized lightweight distribution with a great package management tool. Arch releases usually contain a core cd image (~160 MB) that has a core system without any graphical servers and an FTP install image (~30 MB) with which you can install the entire OS from an FTP server.

I decided to try arch as it seems to be one of the fastest and highly customizable distribution around(The real reason was since arch seems to be more of a “geek’s distro” , I thought I could check my “geek level” with it ).

A great article / review of a new Arch Linux Install.

You might be surprised to find out, Arch isn’t as “geeky” as you may think..
