Windows-free zone!
Ha! Been wanting to say this for a while!
I am now a Windows free zone – no Windows systems lying around. 
Goodbye Windows
Goodbye Slackware – yes, I know, I know, was a long time fan of Slackware ever since I acquired Walnut Creek CDROM set with kernel 1.2.13 .. 
And now I welcome in open arms….(drum roll please)
Arch Linux (Ba-dum-tish!)
Well, what can I say, its a rolling release distro… put simply, updates come out and all dependencies taken care of The simple chant of the command sudo pacman -Syyu and pulls down the latest updates from the Arch Linux’s repository. Now, I have currently a testing repository selected – heh, I like to be on the bleeding edge, and so far, extremely impressive and fast!
Now for you winblows (l)users xD try shutting down and reboot back, time it, now, there’s a catch with this challenge – no SSD disks please.
Personally, I can go from Gnome 3.2 desktop to reboot and back again in under 1 minute. There’s no delay, its instant boot up – well, a lot faster than winblows that’s for sure
Yes, Gnome 3.2… Its actually quite a neat GUI system, sure there are rough edges that need smoothing out but its way better than Gnome 3.0, which caused ire among the Linux users… Will blog about that later on
And you know something, it feels good to have a non-windows system running as there’s no associated stress and frustration with applications freezing or locking up due to bloated registry size and flaky drivers.
Everything works as it is out of the box with Arch.
