Arch Linux... Hm, it feels like home.

I always find myself coming back to Arch for some reason or another. I tried out Debian for a while again, and I liked it. It was very stable. I'd use it as a server or workstation. Thing is, my notebook isn't a server or a workstation. It's my everything. I use it for media, I use it to test coding projects in PHP and other web languages. I use it to learn databases. I use it for network security and wireless scanning. It's useful for testing application security. I try out new operating systems on it. I also use it to do multimedia and graphic design. This thing really is my work horse. I like it to be on the bleeding edge of software. Hence, I usually find myself installing Arch Linux once again.
This time is no different. Debian worked, but it just lacked certain things. Now I'm back in Arch and Flash or Pulseaudio broke with Firefox. I downloaded and installed Opera and all is working, so I'm happy again.
Opera Unite is pretty damn impressive btw. If you're not using it, I suggest you try it out. It has made me a happy camper.
Also, I wanted to note, a friend and I are working on a new website, I will be posting a link up when we have it completed. I'm working on it as a type this and look for it to be done very soon.
Well, that's about it for now.
