For the uninitiated, Arch Linux is a no-frills i686-optimized Linux distro that, according to their website, aims “to be as nearly a perfect base as is humanly possible. A base doesn’t include fancy tools and auto configuration mechanisms, but rather contains manual configuration tools and few functions, for the users to further develop and/or learn on their own.”

So far, I’m extremely happy with the results. A more detailed review of Arch, as well as a step-by-step guide on installing the latest version along with KDE on a Dell Inspiron 6400 is forthcoming. In the meantime, I have written a tutorial on installing a Brother HL-2040 laserjet printer for Arch at the official Arch wiki. Stay tuned…
