How easy is it to install packages with Arch Linux?

Simply run: pacman -S whateveryouwant! In this video, I install acidrip, a DVD ripper.

I'm using yaourt, a sophisticated wrapper for pacman, but the commands are the same.

For all you Linux vs Windows nerds, compare how long it takes to google up your software and install it with a wizard, clicking next a redundant 12 times ... to this!

Pacman is extremely fast compared to apt-get or aptitude.

what's a wrapper as read in the description and why would one use it?

@jcmilasch Good luck! Arch is as good as your skill with Linux. As long as you have that spark and the will to learn, this distro is for you.

@Amebixfan Every distro has its place.

@srikanthradix I alternate between powerpill, yaourt, clyde, and just pacman by itself. They're all wrappers using pacman anyway, yeah.

@Juilkca dual boot

@orasis I'm using Ubuntu right now, but i've been wanting to use Arch SOOOOO much. But I also want to use a mac. It's one or the other and i can't decide which one.

I agree with this man.

Yeah, Vbox slows your connection down, because of virtualizing the network card, and the amount of resources.
