Coolness! Way to go. :)

Here, Arch is very stable now. Fixed the issue with Xorg/GDM last night - it turned out I had GDM both in /etc/inittab and in /etc/rc.conf - chose to take it out of rc.conf.

So now, I need to break it again... LOL

I know how it is. I am struggling with a lot of silly details myself right now. At the moment I cannot access my apache server. And that is just some silly setting that I should know about....

All is good now - It is a roller coaster every time. Some tweaking in In the apache config file and php ini and the world is ok again. Phpmyadmin is working just fine too.

Very nice. :) Good job there!

Couldn't even crash this with compiz; in fact it runs better with compiz than any other distro I've tried. Thinking maybe adding Emerald might do the trick? LOL. Doubt it, but it's worth a try I guess. Would love to get it going; have a nice theme for it now.

It's been forever and a day since I've used it; since 2007. I will have to figure it out again.

It goes so fast it blows my mind. Seriously.

Edit: One thing in Arch - still haven't got mplayer to fly. :( Using VLC for the mean time.
