I've heard of Parabola before, but didn't realize it was an Arch derivative. I'm a big fan of Arch... I may have to try it out. :)<div><br></div><div>Andrew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 11:51 AM, David <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:djsteinhafel@gmail.com" target="_blank">djsteinhafel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Parabola is an entirely Free Software (libre) derivative of Arch Linux[2]. Arch uses the Linux kernel (with binary blobs) and includes non-Free software in its repos. Parabola uses the linux-libre kernel and maintains a blacklist[3] of non-Free applications in the Arch repo. <br>
<br>I found that I was learning more about GNU/Linux computers, and having more fun, after I started using Arch instead of Ubuntu (or Trisquel). I found Parabola GNU/Linux a few months after using Arch and have been very satisfied with its design and performance.<br>

I've been using it's parent, Arch Linux, since 2003 and have not switched distros since that time. I hope you enjoy ArchBang :-)<br><br clear="all">--<br>Jeremy MountainJohnson<br><a href="mailto:Jeremy.MountainJohnson@gmail.com" target="_blank">Jeremy.MountainJohnson@gmail.com</a><br>
