CT on ArchLinux

Contents[Hide]

We test Lab CodeTyphon 6.50 on ArchLinux

ArchLinux is an independently developed, x86_64-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users.
It uses 'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking.
Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server.
The default install provides a solid base that enables users to create a custom installation.
In addition, the Arch Build System (ABS) provides a way to easily build new packages, modify the configuration of stock packages, and share these packages with other users via the Arch Linux user repository.
