                             Arch Linux

                                 by

    Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686- and x86_64-optimised
    Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users. It uses
    'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates
    to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking.
    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.
