Since 2000, I have installed 20 kinds of issued, and I suddenly installed Linux distribution this year. I tried Debian, Gentoo (did not installing LFS). Suddenly contact Archlinux on a certain day. I feel too much. Based, combined with Debian's package management advantages and Gentoo's speed advantage, but unfortunately now the beta version, the latest should be 0.7.
Debian's package management method is really convenient, install / uninstall the package with dselect command, which is very convenient, but unfortunately software updates are too slow, unable to use the latest software (except for hand-compiled installation)
Gentoo is love and hate, love all the software packs it use is the latest, hate is installed once is really painful (for pursuit of speed, Gentoo's software is downloading the latest source code) , Then optimize compilation according to the machine hardware configuration, of course, can also download the binary version to compile, but the performance of the machine cannot be fully exerted)
I personally a simple description is: Debian Gentoo = Archlinux
Reference a paragraph of Archlinux description:
-------------------------------------------- ARCH Linux is a Set i686 optimized Linux version, his idea is based on CRUX, a set of distribution versions developed by Per Lidén.
The basic idea of ARCH is fast, lightweight, elasticity and simple. This is not Hua, but they are all truth. Arch is optimized for I686 processor, so you can get more CPU Cycle (fast). It is lightweight than redhat or other Linux, and simple design makes him elastic and can be a model you want to build. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Official Website: http://www.archlinux.org Traditional Chinese Description Manual: http: / /cle.linux.org.tw/index.php?linuxCHINESEHOWTO/ARCHLINUX upgrade instruction: Pacmac -Syu // Update all installed software in the system to place an example of installing a package: pacmac -s mysql // Detect the dependent module and install it, it is as simple as
