Arch Linux " A nightmare for "'n00bs"' , Well, not anymore !

There was a time when I was desperate to install Arch Linux like many other home users and I kept failing in doing so because I apparently lacked the core knowledge of "DIY" and "KISS" needed for Arch Linux . There was "godane" and others who tried to teach me how to get over this nightmare of installing an Arch Linux based system but I surely failed every time. It literally took me four years to overcome this nightmare of my computing life. Ever since then I have managed to install it not less than hundreds of times on many computers for my friends , colleagues and in my office.

Then came the time of Chakra , ArchBang Linux , CTKArch and KahelOS , distributions which made installing Arch Linux peanuts for everyone . But Chakra was the only one Arch forked distribution that ever impressed me.

I often ask myself : where were these talented people running relatively new but tantalizingly impressive projects like Nosonja and Bridge Linux when I was dying and striving to install an Arch Linux based system?

I was already in deep love with Bridge Linux when today I came to know about this new beauty called Nosonja !

I will not try to advertise these distributions here in my post , rather I wish that those who want to taste something real and still want to be a pure Arch Linux user must explore these two distributions, I assure them they will not be disappointed at all .

I don`t need to get these two installed because I am already running Arch Linux on my computers but since I am so impressed by both these projects in true sense that I am going to install both of these distributions on my computer to enjoy the great work of both these amazing projects.

Bridge Linux | A Linux Distribution for New Archers

 Bridge Linux is a stable , easy and nicely created new Linux Distribution for those who want to install Arch easily without the "scary" Arch text based installer.

Here is the DOWNLOAD PAGE for all the available version of Arch Linux Distribution .

My PCLinuxOS Gnome3 Desktop

This is my newly cooked PCLinuxOS Gnome3 Desktop I built on latest released Zen-Mini x64 ISO.

It is working like a charm and if I can manage I will try to remaster it and upload an ISO somewhere .
