A couple of days ago I was given more RAM to my work computer. I had to run couchdb instances with lots of allocated RAM. The 32bit Ubuntu was not enough anymore so I needed to install a 64bit OS. Somehow I wanted to try Arch and the installation from scratch to the everyday tool took a bit over two hours. I really like this distribution. Pacman (the package manager) is super fast, the system is much easier to configure from the command line than Ubuntu and the best thing is Arch's documentation. All the information you need to know can be found from the Arch wiki. No need to browse blog posts or forums, the wiki is so good. My setup is very lightweight. I have only the minimal Arch installation with Xorg and xmonad, vim, RVM and Firefox. This distro is made for command line use and there it really shines. Here's a screenshot how I want my work desktop to look. Nothing fancy, no distractions and fast usage without mouse. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2402047/screenshot3.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2402047/screenshot3.png

that colorscheme looks familiar... I making my dotfiles public today and I've got a solarized themed xmonad/xmobar config up at https://github.com/altercation/es-etc https://github.com/altercation/es-etc . The only difference with yours will probably be the tabbed decoration theming and xmobar theming. I'd love to see your xmonad.hs too if it's online somewhere.

  Sorry to disappoint, but I really run xmonad with very minimalistic setup. I just need the different tiling modes, couple of hotkeys and xmobar for system information. The more important part is my vim config, which can be found from github, of course. https://github.com/pimeys/dotvim https://github.com/pimeys/dotvim
