       I've been using Linux for more than 30 years, but I'd never installed Arch before! I just tried it. It reminds me pleasantly of The Olden Days of SLS and Slackware.

       @twylo I love the Arch docs.

       @twylo My first home UNIX system was the AT&T PC 7300 (A.K.A. UNIX PC) but it had an mc60010 and an external MMU for demand paging.  1MB of RAM and 20 MB HD, replaced with 40 MB because MFM drives couldn't take the constant activity and the original disk died; its replacement would get stuck and I'd have to turn the spindle on the bottom of the drive. It sported SysVR3 (binaries only). I got it to compile emacs 18 (point something) on its K&R C compiler.I moved onto BSD and eventually Gentoo Linux and other distros. But my work UNIX systems were much more diverse.I use Arch because my take is that it's a simplified Gentoo.
