Tech specs

Arch linux kernel version is 2.6.29 with preemption enabled. I have recompiled glibc using ABS with -msse4 and march=core2

I am more and more amazed with arch linux, a perfect fit for my system

Want to see more such beautiful screenshots. Well, you can install KDE 4.2 for yourself under Arch linux and enjoy the beauty of KDE 4.2 with power of Arch linux. I agree, it will be tough to learn arch linux but I have not hopped any other linux distro for past two months!!
