AOAAO - Arch on Acer Aspire One

I've wanted to test Arch Linux on my old Acer Aspire One netbook for a while.

Arch is known for it's documentation. It's so detailed that the whole process of installing Arch looks far more difficult than it is. After a few hours of reading, punching commands and waiting for packages to be downloaded and installed, Arch was up and running.

The Acer spends 12 seconds to load BIOS before Grub shows up. After hitting the enter key, Arch boots in 9 seconds. Oh, yes. It's fast.

X starts really is a few seconds as well. And since it's so lightweight, it's perfect for installing just the things you want to play with.
