Dear Sasikumar sir,
Arch or any arch base distro is highly command line friendly. Here is something about pacman, the package manager https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman Myself was a long time user of Arch linux and later switched to Chakra Gnu/Linux <http://www.chakra-linux.org> which came as a distrolet of Arch + KDE and eventually transformed into a stand alone distribution. Also, a recommended reading is the beginner's guide<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide>. Even though, you have installed the system, it is better to know how you build a vanilla Arch system from scratch and on the way, you would be familiar with every nuances of Arch, making you a wizard in command line on the go. Especially, a power user like you who knew quite a bit of CLI, its better to study more and more. The arch wiki and it's forums are a place where you could find virtually any answer about desktop and server computing. And I suppose, this is one of the few distros that allow so much Desktop Environments<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_Environment>and Window Managers <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Window_Manager> to select from. and the sweetness of arch is its user repository. If by any chance, you do not find something in the official repos, you could search in AUR and install the program from there. Yayourt is a good wrapper having AUR support. (Of course, Chakra has chakra community repo or CCR, the same way.) Another tool, I liked very much here is yakuake, a terminal emulater. Something i picked from chakra is focuswriter, a text editor which can produce odt, txt and rtf, but is best suited for using in seminar's where you do not have a presentation, handy. -- -- "Freedom is the only law".
