Nice! Does the book provide instructions on how to install and configure Arch from scratch?

  Such books tend to become outdated very quickly. See the Arch Wiki installation guide for up to date information.

    I'm using Arch Linux for 6 years and I've my own install scripts I describe in the book. I didn't have to change them very often. Even if I love the Arch Wiki, the problem is: it's not tailored for beginners. Now, you could say that Arch Linux is NOT for beginners, but I think everybody should make their own mind. I think people are smart, even if they're beginners. But you're right, sometimes the install change; that's why every update of the book will be free. I'll try to keep up with Arch Linux last updates.

      Agreed. But the thing is: What’s a beginner ? I’m a software engineer, been using Linux ( Ubuntu, Fedora) for almost 10 years and when I tried installing arch following the docs I still ran into issues I couldn’t solve or instructions I wasn’t sure about.

  Yes. I tried to explain every single command as much as I could. The reference is still Arch Wiki though, and it's very good, but I find it difficult to follow if you never installed it before...
