Arch Linux ARM available for download for Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi was finally made available for pre-order last week, and there are already downloads available.

Arch Linux ARM is based on Arch Linux, which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs. For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that this distribution may not be suitable for beginners.

Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months.

Did you manage to get one order? Let us know! We did and we can’t wait to try it!
