On the DVD

This month's DVD features two terrific distributions, ArtistX 1.5 and Arch Linux 2013.10.01.
Arch Linux
Arch Linux is a "lightweight and flexible Linux distribution that tries to Keep it Simple" [1]. The developers designed Arch on five core principles [2]: simplicity, code correctness and elegance, user-centric control and responsibility, openness, and freedom. Arch installs with a minimal base system, upon which users build their environments by installing only the tools and programs they need. The minimalist nature of Arch, emphasis on user control, and preference for the command line appeals to more advanced users, but a comprehensive wiki [3] and beginner's guide [4] smooth the way for anyone who would like to try this elegant, community-driven distro.

After sampling the distro on the Live DVD, you can install it to disk or USB stick [7].
