OMG! Did you wake up with a flaming cross on your front lawn this morning? No? you do surprise me. :-)

Any chance you can repeat the above statement on an IRC channel so I can watch? or better still one or two other mailing lists, ay Kevan?, Character checks? its not really in the 'Freedom' spirit is it?

Mind you it its a nice idea, I really, really hate the "Its broke" brigade being long in the tooth as I am its painfully obvious that what they really mean is "I've installed it, it won't run, I've not tried it from command line, I cant be arsed to look on the web, I've not read the HOWTO, documentation or even looked at the maintainers website"

Of course the statement "Its crap"  generally means  "I dunno how to work it, It don't do what I want,  I'm jealous " unless of course it really is crap in which case "I'll get me coat".

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
