Arch Linux 2009.08 Released With New Features
Posted by Michael Larabel on August 10, 2009
The developers behind Arch Linux have announced the release of Arch Linux 2009.08. This ISO for the rolling Arch Linux distribution contains an updated snapshot of Arch's core, which includes the Linux 2.6.30 kernel and many other key package updates. Additionally, Arch Linux 2009.08 contains a new installer (the AIF installer) and it delivers a better disk editor, support for automated installations, a framework for building third-party installation procedures, NTP support for date/time, enhanced GRUB routines, and usability improvements. Outside of the core package updates and the new Arch installer, other enhancements in the 2009.08 release include using AuFS rather than UnionFS for its live mode, enhanced boot detection, bug fixes, more automatic configuration settings, and much more.
