Day 3: Arch Linux

         Arch Linux is a distro that you have to install by command line.  Every install turns out a little different because there are thousands of ways to install it.  It is definitely for advanced Linux users because you have to edit so many config files while installing it.  Anyway the beauty of Arch Linux is that you can choose every thing that goes into it.  If you want gnome install gnome, if you want KDE install that or any other desktop environment.  Another great thing about Arch Linux is that if you install a graphical login manager capable you can have multiple desktop environments.  But make sure you have .xinitrc configured right before installing a graphical login manager or you could get stuck in a login loop.
