About Arch Linux

-

-Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686/x86-64 general purpose GNU/Linux -distribution versatile enough to suit any role. Development focuses on -simplicity, minimalism, and code elegance. Arch is installed as a -minimal base system, configured by the user upon which their own ideal -environment is assembled by installing only what is required or desired -for their unique purposes. GUI configuration utilities are not officially -provided, and most system configuration is performed from the shell by editing -simple text files. Arch strives to stay bleeding edge, and typically offers -the latest stable versions of most software. -

-

-Arch Linux uses its own Pacman package manager, which couples simple binary -packages with an easy-to-use package build system. This allows users to -easily manage and customize packages ranging from official Arch software to the -user's own personal packages to packages from 3rd party sources. The repository -system also allows users to easily build and maintain their own custom build -scripts, packages, and repositories, encouraging community growth and -contribution. -

-

-The minimal Arch base package set resides in the streamlined [core] repository. -In addition, the official [extra], [community], and [testing] repositories -provide several thousand high-quality, packages to meet your software demands. -Arch also offers an [unsupported] section in the Arch Linux User Repository -(AUR), which contains over 9,000 build scripts, for compiling installable -packages from source using the Arch Linux makepkg application. -

-

-Arch Linux uses a "rolling release" system which allows one-time installation -and perpetual software upgrades. It is not generally necessary to reinstall -or upgrade your Arch Linux system from one "version" to the next. -By issuing one command, an Arch system is kept up-to-date and on the bleeding -edge. -

-

-Arch strives to keep its packages as close to the original upstream software as -possible. Patches are applied only when necessary to ensure an application -compiles and runs correctly with the other packages installed on an up-to-date -Arch system. -

-

-To summarize: Arch Linux is a versatile, and simple distribution designed to -fit the needs of the competent Linux® user. It is both powerful and easy -to manage, making it an ideal distro for servers and workstations. Take it in -any direction you like. If you share this vision of what a GNU/Linux -distribution should be, then you are welcomed and encouraged to use it freely, -get involved, and contribute to the community. Welcome to Arch! -

Parabola Presentation

+ +

Almost a year ago we started a project to offer the Free Software + community the chance of using an Archlinux system completely freed from + proprietary software.

+ +

Today we have repositories and installable images of this wonderful + GNU/Linux distribution from which we have eliminated the non-free software + contained in its official repositories and which we have replaced with libre + alternatives whenever we could.

+ +

The first example is Linux-libre, the kernel without blobs nor nonfree + firmware. Followed by GNU IceCat, the libre fork of Mozilla Firefox that + doesn't recommend non-libre addons, and that in our case neither recommends + services that spy on you like the Google search engine.

+ +

Why you should use Parabola

+ +

Parabola equals software freedom plus all power to the users. GNU plus + ArchWay. With a continuosly updated system, simple to manage, simple to + package, you can build your own operating system in the way you want and + learn a lot along the way.

+ +

Free Archlinux

+ +

Following the minimalist, KISS, spirit of Arch, we have managed to + achieve its freedom in a simple way. To free your Archlinux installation, + just install our libre repositories list and update your system.

+ +

No reinstallation needed.

+ +

Participate

+ +

Boring tasks are always available. We want to start new projects. We want + to help people have servers of their own, with services of their own, with + Parabola Social. We want people to remix their own Archlinux and share it + with the rest of the world.

+ +

We want Free Software with a social utility for a libre society.

+ +

But we need your help. If all of us share a little of the boring work, + we'll have more time to do the really fun stuff.

+ +

Remaining tasks:
