I noticed that Arch Linux releases every month. Which I find is a problem, as I live in South Africa and here we don't have cheap or free internet, so downloading a new version every month is sort of out the question. I realize that I'm a newbie and I don't intend to come here and mess up the way things are, I'm merely trying to offer suggestions
Arch is considered a "Rolling Release" Distro, meaning the distro can always be brought up-to-date without a need for a complete reinstall or heavy system changes(something a lot of other distros try but have trouble with).
In Arch a simple pacman -Syu will bring your complete system up to date with the most current apps in the repos.

As long as you do that every night (like via a simple script) or even once a week then you will only be updating a few packages here and there. So very low on bandwidth.

I can imagine its low on bandwidth, but not very low on cap.

It's not intensive. Most updates will be measured in kilobytes. Stuff isn't that heavy.

ok, thanks. I downloaded Xubuntu last night and tried it out, I can see what you mean by its more light weight than Gnome. It loaded in about half the time, and thats a CD compared to my SATA HDD

Hey GoG, I think first we sort out the bugs in the program and then we'll talk about including it. If you wanted to make a specific version for OCNix then you don't have to worry about doing checks for apt-get, you KNOW that its Arch based so you don't even have to check, just install

The 32bit is Debian and the 64bit is arch. So I would need to worry about both.
Off Topic: I fixed the bug you were having by the way.

Just talked to biatchi in the Tux Club thread. Apparently, he's working on the 64 bit version.
