Review: Arch Linux 2008.6

[Administrator]

In Arch Linux, after installing (in which you choose which modules and daemons are loaded on boot), you're given a blank terminal screen. You log in as root, and have to create a user with adduser, install Xorg, gnome, firefox, openoffice.org etc.. (
Basically, you have to choose everything. It's not that hard though, As installing 'gnome' and 'gnome-extra' will include all the basic stuff like epiphany, gedit, the gnome games etc.. You don't have to individually install every little package.
