Well, after using KDE in Arch, I have never bothered looking back to GNOME. Choice of my DE depends upon on the distro I am using. If I'll use Fedora or Ubuntu, I know that I will have to stick with GNOME. Whereas while on Mandriva, I prefer KDE. I am comfortable with both, but my preference is KDE + Arch.

Yeah the GUI vim (gvim) sucks irrespective of DE
I never use it, I prefer the command line one
True ! Arch+KDE is something different
Yeah, freedom to have your system as you want without bloats.

I just wish that the installation procedure wouldn't have consumed that much work. But I guess its the reason the distro is also quite efficient. I might try installing Arch again like old times for giggles if I can scrounge the time.

I actually don't think that installation of Arch consumes much work. The downloading of packages later consumes time rather.

I had recently installed Arch on my friend's box, not much work though.

True, but the things have improved. They have changed the package formats to .tar.xz from the old .tar.gz which reduces the package sizes like anything.

Well heres the thing. Ive never had a problem with Arch on a system with a single hard DIsk. But now most systems I have access to have at least 2 
. Each time I install Arch I run into disk related problems where I end up at a prompt like ramfs . And I cant find anything kind of help that sounds like something that a new person could do to fix the same.
From my experience is if you manage tog et it to run then yes Arch is very good when it comes to performance. However if you are running into an installation problem like I am right now then you are in for one hell of a nightmare.

The trick is to have a disk label for / and specify that in the grub line: root=/dev/disk/by-label/FOOWell heres the thing. Ive never had a problem with Arch on a system with a single hard DIsk. But now most systems I have access to have at least 2

It works irrespective of your IDE/SATA config, etc.

I'm noob in linux, i installed ubuntu with gnome and later on installed KDE desktop environment. After booting in KDE it looked better then gnome but after sometime fooling around i realised i liked gnome better.
I geep getting lost in KDE and accidentally removed desktop activity and all my desktop tool gone!
I logged back in gnome and tried to remove it but not able to remove it then i have to format and reinstall ubuntu
