make install guide for this !! i love how your desktop looks. i would use Arch linux with theese settings...! :) i use atm crunchbang linux.. but i allways wanted to tryout arch:) great vid!

[onlycicala]

Haha I have played around with arch on a dual boot, but I really want it as a main. But I don't wanna ditch windows. Might just wait until I buy a second computer.

[Corleone390]

Great video! Thanks for the time you took with your description. I have already setup several "Arch Boxes" on Gnome 2 and 3, KDE, LXDE and simple Openbox. Nowadays I tend to use XFCE and your setup really looks awesome, good fonts, icons, theme and overall appearence. Excellent!

[gamecheet555]

Could somebody tell me what this XFCE and GTK themes are?

[angelusice]

Name of the song please it's really good pretty pls:)

[MECHAunitAMH1]

I actually really like that wallpaper. Do you have a link to it?

[pabloctrlalt]

what's the function of compositor?

[goodkingkyle1]

You bloated an un-bloated distro.. o.o

[unixolsc]

Bad wallpaper.

[DJVegan]

This is simply amazing. You just convinced me to go XFCE + Arch instead of Chakra.

[Ender0185]

You have an awesome setup!! I am curious how did you do the setup like the music player and where did you get that background etc wallpaper? I like how your desktop is very clean and not cluttered. Do you have any links to get shortcuts like yours? Thanks

Still the best Arch setup i have ever soon i really enjoyed watching your video

[jonasjacek]

ahhh,...great watch. I really enjoyed watching you show us around.

Pretty slick desktop, XFCE and KDE did not go the same path as Gnome did. I cant wait for XFCE 4.10 coming out this March, x, 2012

[StevanEC]

Sound at background, please?

[sibagatovildar]

conky-files please!!! )))))

what about audio-player?

[fanaruvalentin]

system details ??? please



[chammer0r46]

@fanaruvalentin AMD Phenom II X6 1090T overclocked a bit to 3.8ghz, 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 PC-12800 (1600mhz), 2xOCZ Vertex3 SATA III 120GB SSD's running in RAID0, 2xWestern Digital Black 250GB running in RAID0 (old drives but still good - 200MB/s!), SB Audigy 2 ZS (old card - havent found need to replace just yet), ATI Radeon HD 6850 1GB (Sapphire brand). Dual boot Arch and Windows 7 Ultimate for now.

[fanaruvalentin]

@chammer0r46 you found it in to a ufo ??? Awsome PC

[Dareboy58]

@chammer0r46 This is realy much faster when you put your hard drive in raid0? I have 2 western digital 1 TB 64mb cache black edition sata III

[chammer0r46]

@Dareboy58 Almost double! If I recall correctly each drive was doing about 115MB/s on it's own, and output via hdparm is currently showing:

/dev/mapper/pdc_bggaahdef: Timing cached reads: 8570 MB in 2.00 seconds = 4286.95 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 664 MB in 3.01 seconds = 220.72 MB/sec

continued...

[chammer0r46]

@Dareboy58 This is using the onboard AMD solution - I find arrays using MD (Linux software RAID) a bit faster generally. My file server built a few years ago runs 4x640GB WD Blue which are SATA I, and they get:

/dev/md0: Timing cached reads: 2550 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1275.70 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 612 MB in 3.01 seconds = 203.55 MB/sec

...using RAID5.

@chammer0r46

Could you provide me with a link to your awesome wallpaper?

I really like it :)

[chammer0r46]

@zenfreediver wallbase.cc/wallpaper/435525 - if you search for the tag 'drown' there are other resolutions available. the one i linked is 1920x1080.

[zenfreediver]

@chammer0r46 Thanks a lot man! Really appreciate it! :)

[rayyanputra]

Can you make an installation video?

[chammer0r46]

@rayyanputra Without a microphone it'd be kinda difficult to pull off. There are probably much better videos (and people) available that goes through the install. This was really made just for a friend to show him my setup. I just left it public in the event it interested others. :)

[rayyanputra]

@chammer0r46 =(

I always failed when it comes to install Arch Linux/ArchBang..I have followed every single details out there..hmm..don't know why..

[Dareboy58]

[t3hdarkside]

[Dareboy58]

[chammer0r46]

[Dareboy58]

[chammer0r46]

[Warez244]

this seems like a vps ....Uptime 1 day wtf ?!!!!!

[WhiteHatProgramming]

How did you get this awsome 'Arch-A' when you're opening your terminal ?? :)

[chammer0r46]

@WhiteHatProgramming It's a little program called Archey. You can grab it from the AUR - the package name is archey3 20110904-1.

[chammer0r46]

@sibagatovildar It's a dual boot system with Windows 7 also for gaming, but I also do a lot of work and testing with VM's. I usually keep a couple Linux/BSD/Windows VM's going in the background.

[sibagatovildar]

@chammer0r46 ok, thanks! you have a very beauty Arch.

[sibagatovildar]

Why do you need a powerful computer for Linux? For what work? tnx
