Ayant un laptop qui devient de plus en plus dépassé par rapport aux nouveaux gros cylindrés des pc portables de nos jours, j’avais entendu parlé de Archlinux (via le le plus geek des gadiris geeky minds Tao sensei) comme étant une bonne et légère solution pour ne pas trop forcer sur le matos modeste de mon laptop…
sur le site http://www.archlinux.org ils disent
“Welcome to Arch! You’ve reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.”
ils disent que c’est légère et rapide comme distribution mais ce qu’ils disent pas c’est que une fois installée, vous trouverez qu’un joli écran noir à votre accueil, à vous d’installer l’environnement graphique et tout configurer (graphique, son, wifi… même les bouton du contrôle de volume !)
L’intérêt est bon, pour les créateurs d’Archlinux, avec un distribution simple comme ubuntu ou suse, tôt ou tard on va se trouver face à un grave problème, pour le débloquer, on pourra jamais (ou au moins difficilement) s’en sortir vu que c’est un wizard qui a tout installer et non pas nous…
bref, j’ai passé tout un weekend à lire dans la wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org et à essayer de configurer un OS opérationnel qui remplacera complètement windoz (pour me forcer, j’ai même viré mon historique windoz que j’avais en dual boot, quand il fallait chercher des pistes sur internet, je bootais plutôt sur le CD live de http://www.linuxmint.com
pour garder une trace online de ma config, voila les commandes et les paramètres des fichiers de conf qu’ont fonctionné avec mon HP Compaq nx8220… ici je présente que l’essentiel, à vous le wiki pour plus de détails
