Simple, Lightweight: Arch Linux 2009.08
The new Arch Linux distro is available in version 2009.08 with updated software. A new installer is included.
The new installation based on Arch Linux Installation Framework (AIF) provides an improved hard disk editor that supports LVM and encryption through Dm-crypt. It also allows automated installations using a configuration file. Users can create their own installation routines based on AIF.
The update software includes Kernel 2.6.30.4-1, Udev 141-5 and the Pacman 3.3.0-3 package manager. The Arch Linux wiki has a detailed list of the delivered software versions. The installation guide accompanies it.
Arch Linux is optimized for i686 and x86_64 processors. ISO images for CDs, DVDs and USB sticks are available per BitTorrent, FTP or HTTP on the project's download page.
