I, too, would like to chime in and say a big THANK YOU to everyone making Arch what it is. I started getting into Linux during my first year at university, and a colleague of mine recommended Arch. After using Ubuntu for a while on my new netbook I decided to try Arch, and I've loved it ever since.

Guys, Something in current Archlinux prevents clients mounting a root samba share '/' via mount.cifs. Since building a new Arch server a month or so ago, I have been chasing an issue with mount.cifs that prevents the '/' share from being mounted as it always has. This has worked (and continue

From my UNIX user point of view, there is no distribution closer to the UNIX philosophy than Arch Linux. Lightweight, simple and yet powerful, this distribution serves the UNIX and GNU/Linux purposes better than any other. No frills all around the kernel, no shiny and useless packages upon inst
