ARCHHURD

Our goal is to provide an Arch-like user environment (BSD-style init scripts, i686-optimised packages, use of the pacman package manager, rolling-release, and a KISS set up) on the Hurd which is stable enough for use, if not as a primary OS, at least as something to consider as a dual-boot option... Arch Linux is a simple, lightweight Linux distribution with packages optimised for the i686 and x86_64 architectures. It features a BSD-style init system and is the origin of the pacman package manager, both essential features in Arch Hurd. Arch Linux was founded by Judd Vinet, and is currently led by Aaron Griffin. Arch uses a rolling-release development model rather than issuing fixed releases, and so Arch systems which are even very old can (theoretically) be updated with very few issues. Today, Arch is one of the better-known distributions, and frequently ranks highly on Distrowatch.
