You still don't understand or don't want to understand it. Arch is for both sides. Arch as it is can be used by the so called power users who only want to use the keyboard and the console. And Arch as it is can also be used by the average user who just want a nice desktop and just want to read and write his e-mails, surf through the web and write some letters with an office suite. Both user bases can choose what they want to install on Arch as it is now. That's minimalism. > It's done. All i want is to settle this in a useful way. So why do you continue ranting about Arch? Write your own website and build your own mirrors and writer there why you are forking Arch and what's the difference between Arch and your distro. But again I doubt that you can keep such a minimalism as you like especially if you'll get a bigger user base. Heiko
