Re: [orca-list] GNOME 3.6 with gnome-shell: I'm impressed so far



+Â I would like to know, if there are definite advantages to Arch?
Can a blind person do the setup without sighted assistance?
Can I have the entire packman (or what ever the repo is called ) downloaded offline just like I can do with Ubuntu mirror?
Further, I had herd that Arch does have issues because there is no security test or no check on vulnerabilities, is that true?
Happy hacking.

Trouble with Arch is that you have to do so much from scratch. This is, at least, my understanding. Somebody get on here and correct me if Iâm wrong. How long does it take to get an Arch installation up and running? Debian and Ubuntu take like 30 to 45 minutes and you have a fuly functioning desktop or server system. Iâve heard similar stuff about slackware and Gentoo. How much truth to this is there?

Arch must have a way to get all the packages then. ÂI am using Debian Testing which is never a release, it just keeps on changing for ever and ever.

Â

Debian Sid also does the same but much more so. ÂGNOME 3.6 isn't in Sid yet, and that's where it will go first.

Â

Sid just has too many package changes for me, Testing is good enough and it is rolling which I like I never update, I just roll around and around forever.

Not as far as I know, but you can expect packaging to commence quickly after
the forthcoming Debian release, whenever that is. (It could be Gnome 3.8 by
then, of course).

Unless there's something in 3.6 that you really need, it would be best to
wait. If you really can't stand Debian's release policy, then Arch Linux might
be more to your liking - they never freeze the distribution and therefore
never make "releases" in the traditional sense.
