You're right actually, now you mention it! Building new kernels was really painful, and so was building modules. The main reason I dropped it on my laptop was that I couldn't get linux-wacom working for my touchscreen, I'm hoping that with xorg7 it will work now. Ben

One thing that I didn't like about Arch was its general community attitude, I found it to be quite immature and 'clicky' (just my opinion of course). This was a contributing factor to why I am not currently using it. I still believe it's a nice distro though, and may revisit it at some stage. I also seem to remember running into some minor issue with libs being in non standard locations when making packages, this is far outweighed by the ease of creating and integrating packages though. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's VoIP supplier
