Well we won the battle and finally got sound after fighting it for 2 days, listen up if you are planning to install Arch and run into the same silly problem, I had to add a Sound Group to make the sound work, I was told that all I had to do was make sure that my uses were all in the audio group they fibbed. So in the long run I have it installed and everything working just fine including the sound and it only took about 10 minutes to get it to recognize my local network and poof it was in.
Now that it is up and running what can I say about it? The first thing I can say is gawd it is fast, and I mean fast even when using KDE as a window manager. The second thing is the bleeding edge programs that the community seems to have a huge part in getting ready, a process that my favorite distro is just starting as of late. What that means is each one is installed tested and packaged for download and install by the users and made available to the general public for their own use.
I have to thank the one and only arch babe and my favorite babe LC. And for the record she is the one that suggested the sound group, so thanks kiddo. I will post some screenshots if and when I get the darn things posted I have them just not ready to post is all. I told you I was old and slow.
So in the end would I suggest this distro to a noob? The answer to that is not only no but hell no, would I suggest it to a newer user? Yes it makes for a great distro for people to learn linux from the ground up, even if it hates me you might have better luck with it. See you all later folks

You’d hope contingency plans were in place. Wouldn’t you.

And heck I was worried about dying from old age, First a plane parts fall from the skies and kill some poor customer in a car dealership and now spy satellites are falling when will all the falling stop. Maybe Chicken Little was right after all. Baldy

Dead spy satellite falling from orbit – could hit Earth in late February or March

ECMA, the international IT standards association, recently published its responses to comments of the ISO National Bodies in response to Microsoft’s Office Open XML application for ISO standardization (the actual 2,293-page response is closed to the public). The ECMA proposals will be discussed at a Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) in Geneva after which the National Bodies may reconsider their original vote. Microsoft’s responses make clear that within one year, it will have four different OOXML specifications to implement and interoperate with, and each of those specs will be closed. Under no circumstances should such a flawed specification become an international standard.

Commentary: ISO should kick OOXML off the standards bus

With a new CEO on board and a major update of its Firefox Web browser expected this year, Mozilla hopes to reinvigorate its campaign to pull users away from Microsoft’s still-dominant Internet Explorer software. However, the open source vendor continues to expend little energy on wooing IT managers to formally adopt Firefox for deployment within their organizations. In the past, Firefox faced two main obstacles among enterprise users: its immaturity, and its incompatibility with corporate Web applications and intranets that relied on Microsoft technologies such as ActiveX.
