New ArchBang Live CD "Symbiosis" in January 2011

Another newly found favorite, ArchBang, is going to release a new version in January 2011. Here's a screenshot. Not that I needed a new release because it is just Arch Linux under the hood and that's been updating perfectly here for the last two months without any stability problems or other issues. I am now running the latest 2.6.36 kernel etc. with wireless still working.

A new release will be good though for if you're just running from disc or USB to get a fresh image.

I'm very impressed and find myself in ArchBang most of the time. Looks like they're sticking to the Openbox and Xfce4 combination this time which is good. It's very comfortable. I have installed Window Maker as well and between the two it's really a great experience, and feels very different from the main environments. More about that another time.

Archbang has impressed me so much that it has become my main and only OS. I cannot be bothered with anything else, it runs flawless unlike those other clunkers.

Very stable!
