Arch Linux x_64 with XFCE-4.6.1 boot

This is Arch x_64 install on E6850 with 4GB ram and nvidia 8800GTX. XFCE is version 4.6.1 and it is "bloated" with Compiz, gnome and kde apps support, and some services such as ufw, cups, ... and such, but the boot time is about 20 sec, whis is fine (it was about 17 prior to bloating).

XFCE in this stage (4.6.1) looks very interesting, I'm almost thinking of switchig from gnome ;)

Arch Logo is shown (one image per cpu core, I have a Core2Duo and 2 images are shown). If you compile kernel by your self you have options wether to show this logo or not, and in which color pallete to show it.

This is pretty much standard install (ftp install). After a base install, I just added xfce4, xfce-goodies, compiz-fusion, and gnome (my favorite DE) as an alternative to XFCE.

What? Linux users can't play games?

Screw you, dude.

I'm even going to develop games on linux, thanks to using open source, multiplatform libs.

How did you get the 'Arch' logo during the boot up process shown in your video? I don't think that is default and would like to know how you did so...

And why the hell do you need 8800GTX with Linux?
