The boot time is very impressive. I have been using the system for a number of days now and it consistently boots up within 10 to 15 seconds.

 

I like the sound of this os and intend giving it a run at some stage.

There are some brave folk around. Looks an interesting project.

I have manjaro installed since a couple of months now ( my introduction way into Arch ) and I like it a lot.

Just remember that Manjaro is not Archlinux nor does it use the Arch repos: Manjaro Linux: A Follow-Up

 

BTW, the author Allan McRae is one of the main Arch developers and is the maintainer of Pacman/toolkit.

They sound like some neat projects to play with but what is the point? 90% of the Arch packages are not even available on Starch or ArchBSD.

I applaud the authors' work but to me, they just seem like Frankenstein distros with no real point or direction.
