Linux A few months ago I was a Slackware Junkie. I loved it, and laughed at those who used 'more automatic' distributions (ok, I didn't actually laugh). Then Arch Linux 0.5 came out and I was very intrigued by it. I was getting tired of having to compile updated packages myself.

The article mentioned that Arch Linux' init scripts and config files are the best. How do they differ from other distributions?

Then it is said that everyone can submit packages and has not to "proove" himself. What about security? Can everyone submit malware and broken packages or is there some QA?
