I've blogged about Arch Linux back in 2014.

If anyone interested; http://www.distrogeeks.com/arch-linux-2014-install/


TFA and your blog post both mention SLiM as a login manager, according to the Arch wiki[0]:

"The SliM project has been abandoned (the project homepage is down, leaving a github mirror), and is not fully compatible to systemd, including logind sessions. Consider using a different Display manager or Xinitrc."

Lightdm [1] seems to be a better alternative.

Yes officially it is, but notice the date the post was made. It was before the SLiM abandoned :-) I use my self and would recommend LightDM instead of SLiM now. But thank you for pointing this out. I'll post new arch install article one of this days ^_^

I would also like to say that I've been using Arch Linux since 2011 and it works for my development needs. I'm using it with 3-monitors on two separate "GeForce GT 610" video cards. I've tried many other distros including Ubuntu and Fedora both GNOME/KDE. I prefer Arch + XFCE + LightDM my self :-)


Slim is still working for me on systemd here. Didn't even know it was abandoned...

I guess I'll give LightDM a look, just in case. Thanks for the heads up!


Slim still works if you don't go the systemd route though. Guix use it for instance.


Try it like this. site:www.google.com (About 34,000,000 results) or site:http://www.google.com inurl:search (About 185,000 results)



Very nice, thank you. Will definantly use it.


I'm not interested in SSD at this time :-) 5400rpm works well for what I need.


This is how simple all code should be :-) Good Job!

Thanks for your comments. Fixed! If you find any more mistakes please don't hasitate to tell me.


You can use HN like colors by typing cloud password "hackernews".


Any plans on adding "English" and other languages to the site ? There is some very interesting features :)


I am in charge of CSDN development team. We don't have a plan to make an English version yet as for now our focus is still on local open source community setup. Maybe one day when the situation is mature enough...


Why not design internationalisation and localisation into it, and have contributors translate the ui? Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

That might be an excellent way to demonstrate the power of FOSS to a small but growing community in China...


+1. Too often organisations like CSDN, 51CTO, etc believe that the Chinese market is 'totally' different and therefore needs a different approach/method. They still need to realize it is not the message itself, but 'how' you tell the message.

Side note: I have been closely involved in the Chinese Fedora community; assisting and streamlining procedures within the community and getting the community members closer aligned with the project and project goals. As a project we actually haven't treated Asia or China any different from other regions, such as South America, Europe, etc.


China market is not totally different of course, which is self-explanatory that we have similar services with Github, Stackoverflow, Wordpress and Hacker News.

However, it is still different, sometimes very different in details and implementation. And the difference needs time and efforts to eliminate.


I think we can open more development roadmap like localization to the community.
