ArchLinux Basic System to XFCE4 desktop construction

 

Keep it simple, Stupid This is ArchLinux philosophy, is a kind of philosophy of life

It's been a long time since Linux was used, and it took a little bit of "disruptive" demand to pick up Linux again.

The choice of which release can be said to make every linuxer headache, different ideas to create a Linux distribution of the blossoming of the situation. In fact, which version of the distribution is not too much, want to Ubuntu is familiar with a----"have not seen the pig run has not eaten pork?", even if not contacted in the card Rice forum for a period of time has been a lot of people have been heard of it ^ ^


It's not too much to comment on which distribution is good (very worried about being sprayed by various factions), the choice of open source world depends on its own concept + demand, find a suitable for their own on the line----If you like the Deb package management approach, then the Gnu/linux Debian Community Benchmark is undoubtedly a superior choice; Like RPM package management, aggressive point to choose Fedora, Conservative point CentOS (or SL), like the pursuit of "self-abuse" of the pleasure of the upper LFS (Gentoo how much also belongs to this.)

Needless to say, here I have neither the choice of Debian nor fedora to do this tutorial, but chose a hole big and deep rolling update release arch Linux (so-called rolling update is almost the pace of keeping up with the trend of the times, no need to tangle today a version number, tomorrow a version number ...) Of course, I do not choose Gentoo to do the tutorial, because the penguin if the context is not clear, it is very tired to tune up


Although the traced words are boring, but about the arch Linux ... Or how much to understand for good, code word is also very tired, directly read the Wiki related introduction

Http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/Arch_Linux


The primary purpose of this tutorial is to complete the installation of the basic system, install the Xfce4 Desktop Kit, install the Chinese input method for unobstructed access to the internet ... At the same time the tutorial with virtual machine as a carrier, after all, to operate more convenient, in practice can be slightly adapted to the physical machine


It can be said that, in addition to the tutorial in the release of the proprietary instructions, other points mentioned if you really understand, then for ordinary users to use Linux desktop is basically not a problem, but also completely easy to move from one release to another release to experience the "colorful" So that's one of the important reasons why I don't choose openSUSE as a great version of this gorgeous release to do tutorials.

TIPS!!!

If your main expectation is to see the gorgeous Desktop Suite/window Manager + panel/3d from this tutorial ... preparation, then follow my steps: Press and hold the ALT key on the keyboard while pressing the F4 key
