  • Arch Linux

  • Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686- and x86_64-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users.

Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server. The default install provides a solid base that enables users to create a custom installation. In addition, the Arch Build System (ABS) provides a way to easily build new packages, modify the configuration of stock packages, and share these packages with other users via the Arch Linux user repository. ยป
