Finally, the site is on the new server, which hopefully will be rock solid for ever :)

Anyway, I finally opened up the blogs for new users, you know where to go to sign up……… get going ! :)

meh, this is going slowly.

First we had the delay of getting a server built.   Then once it was built we had a massive segfault, that wasn’t recoverable (no, it wasn’t my fault :P  ).  Next we reloaded the OS from scratch and started over.  Eh…….. waddaya know, another segfault/crash.  New server time.  I have stressed tested the cpu and ran a bad blocks test on the hard drive, checked the ram configuration, i think we are golden now.

The new server is finally setup, now to get it configured.

Plenty of room, and plenty of ram, at least for  now.

Want an Arch Linux blog ?  http://archlinux.me/username

See http://archlinux.me for examples of what the blogs will look like :)  For about the last 3 weeks I have been testing out software for archlinux.me blogs, based on WordPress.  So far, things have went very well.
I am about ready to open things up to more users, if anyone is interested.  I have a few days before I will be able to setup new users, as I am currently in the process of moving the entire setup off my development server to it’s own server that has more bandwidth and bigger pipes.  Several nice add-ons include: Syntax highlighting using GeSHi, Twitter messages, Ping.fm updates, and more.

Ok, it’s not anything really special, but I should be able to enable alot more blogs and to enable email and have a more consistent connection.

I’ll keep ya posted :)

I have had over a decade of experience with a multitude of distros.
One of the members of one of my forums literally begged me for a year to try Arch.  Finally I relented and installed it.
It was like having an epiphany !  OMG – This is AWESOME ! PERFECT ! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS !
I guess the prior years of experience let me know right away that Arch Linux was the distro I had been looking for. There was this almost instantaneous recognition of the simple elegance of a system you could control completely, the speed, configuration, ease of keeping things updated that made me so happy it was hard to contain myself.
