Arch Linux for the DIY Linux user

07-16-2008 08:00 AM
There's no dearth of Linux distributions for desktop users or even for running high availability servers. But if you are a do-it-yourself computer user, your choice of Linux distros is fairly limited. You can build Linux from scratch with Linux from Scratch or compile your own set of packages with Gentoo. But if you want a distro that teaches you the basics of Linux as you set it up; is well documented, lightweight, and zippy; and has a dependency-resolving packaging system, you need Arch Linux.

NAME

       Arch - GNU Arch Perl library

SYNOPSIS

	   use Arch 0.5.2;

	   # perldoc Arch
	   # axp man Arch

	   # example: produce ChangeLog for the current project
	   use Arch::Tree;

DESCRIPTION

       The Arch-Perl library allows Perl developers to create GNU Arch front-ends in an object oriented fashion. GNU Arch is a decentralized,
       changeset-oriented revision control system.

       Currently, a pragmatic high-level interface is built around tla or baz.	This functionality was initially developed for ArchZoom project,
       and was highly enhanced to serve AXP and ArchWay projects as well.
