[QUOTE="red_devil, post: 1371973, member: 23734"] I'm thinking of giving Arch Linux a try. I'm not a power user and have used Fedora and Ubuntu till date {although Linux was never my primary OS} I currently have Win 7 and Kubuntu 10.10 installed on my system and I'm planning to install Arch over the Kubuntu. I've just downloaded the "CORE Image" from [url=http://www.archlinux.org/download/]Arch Linux - Downloads[/url] Few questions {and I'm sure there will be tons of them later on}: 1. Is installing Arch using the Core Image the right way forward or should I look towards the Netinstall image? 2. Any obvious pitfalls that an Arch newbie needs to be aware of ? {since I'd rather not damage my Win7 install .. got loads of stuff over there and I don't think I can back up all of those :P } [/QUOTE]
