  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Installed ArchBang Linux on an old laptop, and it works like a charm.This laptop was unusable under windows.
ArchBang is minimalist and that is what i like, i can install what i need myself.
Labwc is a great choice, and it is so fast !

Setup was easy, but improvements could be made to the partionning aspect for beginners.
Documentation could also be simplified for import Pacman keyrings, a script is provided for that, but it was not obvious.

All in all, great distro for my older laptop which i use daily for web browsing.
