Linux/Blog: Install Arch Linux and blog about your experience using it for development

Objective

Most of the server world runs Linux. It is important that developers are familiar with Linux systems. The best way is to achieve this is to run Linux on your own PC. Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686/x86-64 general purpose GNU/Linux distribution versatile enough to suit any role. Based on a rolling-release model, Arch strives to stay bleeding edge, and typically offers the latest stable versions of most software.

  • Blog post about your experience (like what steps did you take while installing,etc.)
  • Screenshots include in post
  • Blog post added in the section of the GCI student page at http://gci15.fossasia.org
  • If possible also tweet about it and include a screenshot, e.g. could be something like "Trying out @archlinux during #FOSSASIA #GoogleCodeIn @hpdang @mariobehling @mohitkanwal" Links
