Vanilla Arch? It's a derivative of Arch and is completely different. It's like comparing Debian with Ubuntu.

Odd title considering that it’s a tutorial, not a remaster. A remaster means that you changed something. Sort of like a distro respin.

Came across this video showcasing xscreensaver running on a Arch install. Looks like the guy is using Window Maker which is cool. Sweet spots are 16 and 30 mins in.
