Welcome to Arch!
You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures. We complement our official package sets with a community-operated package repository that grows in size and quality each and every day.
Our strong community is diverse and helpful, and we pride ourselves on the range of skillsets and uses for Arch that stem from it. Please check out our forums and mailing lists to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Arch.

Pacman update and mirrorlist
With the update to pacman-3.2.1-2, we have split the mirrorlist into the pacman-mirrorlist package. This will allow us to push more frequent updates to the mirrorlist, instead of only updating it with pacman releases. As part of this update, your current /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file will be saved as mirrorlist.pacorig and the default mirrorlist put in its place. Remember to merge these ...

Note on fresh TeXLive installs
With the latest update of texlive-core, some new hyphenation patterns cause TeX capacity to be exceeded when some formats are created. In the file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, change the line trie_size = 600000 to trie_size = 700000 Then run sudo fmtutil-sys --missing and everything will be fine.

ZSH Force Upgrade
To ZSH Users: The 4.3.9 zsh upgrade must be forced, as the package now properly handles the unzipped man pages. Before they were unzipped in the .install file, meaning the files weren't tracked in the pacman db, now they are never zipped with the '!zipman' options flag. Thanks to Xavier/shining for being a patient, bug and patch submitting awesome dude. ...
