Installing ArchLinux

[SniperRiflezzzz]

Well here soon i am going to install ArchLinux on my machine at school, i have gotten a lot of different replys from different forums. On what i should put on there to begin with, well i have found out that i need a GUI desktop called xorg for a desktop GUI and Alas for Sound, that is all that i have heard, so far that i needed to install of the get go. More than likely i will install the base system one day then take about 2 days off trying to figure out what i will do next.

This about how long i have figured up it will take:

1. Install base system - 20 mins
2. install alsa - 2 mins
3 install xorg - may take some time depending on drivers required.
4. create a user & give sudo rights
- 15 mins
5. install window manager / desktop environment
- takes some time.

So im looking at a quite of bit of time.

Input, anyone?

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Arch Linux is very nice, it's small, clean, and stable.

Arch is definetly worth it though, I use it on all my servers and my non-gaming computers. I love it <3

It takes some time your first time through. Just follow ArchWiki's Beginner Guide and pay attention. You won't regret it.
