Hello, all! As promised, here is the link to the Arch Linux VBox image that I demonstrated in Club today. A few things to note before you get started:
- This is the official Arch Linux website. :)
- The Arch Wiki is the first place to go if you have any questions about Arch. SERIOUSLY! IT’S GREAT.
- You will need Virtualbox from Oracle. It’s free.
- After running Virtualbox, select “Import Appliance” and choose Arch.ova (The file you just downloaded from here.)
