Knowing that ArkLinux is the offspring of Bernhard "Bero" Rosenkraenzer (interview here), a former Red Hat employee and KDE hacker, should make it one of the more interesting and, arguably, credible new Linux distributions to hit the streets in recent seasons. With the rise of Lycoris, Lindows, and Xandros, among others, Ark Linux is certainly a far cry from a surefire success. Let's take a look.

Was Alpha-6 a misprint or are you not reviewing the latest version for a certain reason? Besides that, the review was very helpful and reminded me what to do when I too discovered my network card not working on the first install.
For the gurus taking shots at arguments: for n00bs such as myself, still recoiling from the mess that mdk 9.0 turned out to be (how could you release broken nvidia support AND mess up supermount in a final version??), we/I find that Ark gets more right than it does wrong. While the more I learn about linux, the more I'm drifting away from swiss army distros, I think simple, user-friendly, and attractive packages like this one are what is needed to win new converts. Get those closed source plugins and drivers prepared Bero!!
Just take care tho...your distro has to best Knoppix 3.2 for simplicity and compatibility ;-) Good Luck to the Ark Linux team and keep up the good work!
