Aaron Griffin has announced the release of Arch Linux 2009.02, an independently developed community distribution, based on a rolling-release package model and targeted at competent GNU/Linux users: "We proudly announce the release of the new Arch Linux installation images, version 2009.02. It took us quite a while, but we think the result is worth it - we added some cool new things and ironed out some long-lasting imperfections. 2009.02 comes with the following features: Linux kernel 2.6.28; ext4 support, installation can be done on a ext4 root partition; rescue and maintenance capabilities for ext4 root partitions; fallback ISOs with the ISOLINUX bootloader, for those that have trouble booting GRUB-based images; several bug fixes in the installer; brought the included documentation up to date; inclusion of AIF (Arch Linux Installation Framework), the next generation installer, currently under development."

Downloaded it last night. Been meaning to blow away my last remaining 32-bit installation, so that will probably get tested out whenever I feel up to it.

I am a little upset at the moment with Archlinux. Just a small thing. Example openJDK6 vs. JRE/JDK

In the repos "extra" Archlinux support openJDK6 in the repos "community" JRE/JDK. So far so good.

With the last update from "Soprano", how depend on kdelibs (needed by kdelibs), the devs make Soprano depend on openJDK6. Now all my browser Java Plug In's don't work. Archlinux & Archlinux64 needs JRE and JRE conflict with openJDK6.
There are a lot of small problems with Archlinux. I wait for the KDE 4.2.1 dektop what will be release soon (two weeks). Then hopefull this mess will be fixed.
