Pierre Schmitz has announced the availability of Arch Linux 2012.11.01, the latest of the regular installation CD images that the project providing a popular rolling-release Linux distribution now makes available at the beginning of each month. This is mostly a bug-fix release. From the release announcement: "The latest snapshot of our install and rescue media can be found on our download page. The 2012.11.01 ISO image mainly contains minor bug fixes, cleanups and new packages compared to the previous one: first media with Linux kernel 3.6; copytoram=n can be used to not copy the image to RAM on network boot - this is probably unreliable but an option for systems with very low memory; cowfile_size boot parameter mainly for persistent COW on VFAT, see the README file for details."

Pierre Schmitz has announced the release of Arch Linux 2012.07.15 "netinstall" CD image. Since Arch Linux is a strictly rolling-release distribution, this release merely provides an updated system installer and it does not represent a new Arch Linux "version" in the traditional sense of the word. From the announcement: "New CD images containing a current Arch Linux snapshot have been released. Most notable change is that AIF (the Arch Installation Framework) is no longer included but instead some simple install scripts are provided to aid in the installation process. This means that a menu driven installer is no longer available and we rely more on documentation to guide new users. Instead of six different images we only provide a single one which can be booted into an i686 and x86_64 live system to install Arch Linux over the network." Download the new Arch Linux "netinstall" CD image from here: archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso (483MB, MD5, torrent).

A release candidate for Arch Linux 2008.04 is out and ready for testing: "A new batch of install images is currently being uploaded to mirrors. The FTP images have been made available tonight, while the CORE images will be pushed tomorrow night in order to distribute the load. This marks the first release based on a true live Arch system. That is, what's on the images is just a plain old base installation which just happens to boot from a CD or a USB stick. The installer script itself is roughly the same as it has always been. The most noticeable change is the use of UUIDs instead of sdX/hdX entries by default.If you get the chance, please give the images a spin. By the way, the 'RC' status of these images should not be a turn-off if you're looking to install Arch; there's a very good chance they'll work just fine for you."

Judd Vinet: Tough to compare really, they're all great distros. I find it flattering to have Arch compared to the likes of Slackware and Debian, as I've always revered them as the time-tested, rock-solid distributions on which other distros are based. Arch has been largely successful in adopting positive traits of other distributions, and you're quite accurate in picking those four. I think Arch has borrowed some good qualities from each of those systems, especially Slackware and FreeBSD." The 9-page interview starts here.

LinuxTimes has published a comprehensive review of Arch Linux with many screenshots: "By writing their own package manager and having their own packages (i686 optimized), Arch has really set itself apart. This, combined with their KISS (Keep it Simple Silly) philosophy, makes Arch a good distribution to consider. One thing to note is that Arch is still at 0.7, which means that all the bugs have not been ironed out from it. I got a few weird errors with GNOME in Arch. I also ran into one or two minor problems with pacman. Overall, there are no big show stopping bugs that would prevent me from recommending Arch wholeheartedly to you. Also, from what I have seen of it, the Arch community seems very welcoming and sensible." The 4-page review starts here.

OSNews has published a 5-page review of Arch Linux: "Arch Linux quotes itself as being 'an i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users.' Part of its philosophy is that by not providing you with lots of configuration utilities, you are forced to 'learn the ropes' and you will benefit from the additional knowledge acquired. A sensible approach you may think, and is fine for experienced and/or fearless techies. You know that this isn't going to be the distro to recommend to your mother! But, I wouldn't say Arch Linux is elitist as some readers may fear." The full review.
