Welcome to my blog !

The famous author Arthur Koestler once said that “Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.” My main purpose for this blog is to depict the little tricks I've learned over time in Computers and my increasing adaptation towards Open Source Software.

Speed… I’m Loving it

Tagged Under : ,

There are quite a few things I love about Arch Linux. But the Main thing I love is its speed. I’ve never been on a faster Distro. That said I’ve never been on anythign else other than Ubuntu Hardy Heron, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, Mandriva , Sabayon  and Mint.




One of the main things I always had a problem with is getting updates. The highest speed I ever got from Ubuntu Mirrors was like 30-35 Kbps and that too from a mirror from Mongolia. As for the other distributions I had either lower or comparitively same speeds as well. Let me show you the time it took to do a 12 MB update on Arch Linux in the morning in India.

Every single update I make seems to get me good speeds and I’m just loving it.
