Not a joke?
Though why some developers even like Aaron Griffin doesn't know this decision?

Guys ... this is no joke. I'm just glad there are other distros out
there (and superior ones really, like Mandrake) that still support
x86. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD money is behind this, now that
they are losing their x86 license from Intel.

Damn, I thought we would play along until April 1 is over. You ruined

Thank you very much.

P.S. Yeah, I fall for the joke completely.

It depends on where you live to be April 1st :-)
Let's drop the support for Google [1], Firefox and, of course, Arch i686 :-)
Happy Apr, 1st!

Definitely a good idea. If someone wants to make a comment about an
announcement, they can forward it to the general mailing list or
author a forum post about it.

I have to say, at the very beginning, the reason why I chose Arch was
my old hardware: P4 2.0G (32bit) and 512MB DDR RAM.
If i686 support was drooped someday, how about my old computer?
I cannot cast it, however.
I'm running Arch i686 on thinkpad T400, although it's x86_64
compatible, but it will be painful to reinstall. And I think there
might be many people don't have x64 hardware.

I was wondering if we could make arch-announce a read only list. Sort of
like the dev mailing list. Anyone who tries to respond to an announcement
could get an email saying something along the lines of "If you have a
comment about an announcement, please post it on the arch-general list.
Thank you
Perhaps we should start thinking about quantic computing. =D

Malformed message exception
I did not liked the idea first, but now I see the benefit of it.
I think we should also drop some unsuportted packages that keep crufting the
repos since some time. I would suggest going back to Arch's root: BSD. Why
not an OpenBSD kernel? Linux is not developped actively enough...

Hmmm ...
My only concern about this is that it's often difficult or impossible to
run an x86_64 distro inside a VM.
So one very definite negative of this change is that it'd restrict
many/most people's ability to run Arch inside of a VM - something I've
done many times, and have found very c
your errors look like wmii try to display something but didn't found
any display, cause X is down.
You need to use another way to shut down X if you didn't get these
messages, or redirect them to «/dev/null» .

Hi,
It happens that under the company I work for proxy (a non transparent
one), the openjdk plugin doesn't seem to work. I tries to run the
applet, but nothing.
I read several bug reports about that (non arch), so I guess
eventually it'll get fixed. However I'd like to know if there's a
work ar

You know that CTRL+ALT+backspace is not the clean way to close X? What
happens is that X gets killed while all applications are still running.

And we've fixed them and they're not broken any more.
Though I have all the fonts in my own ~/.fonts, I'd prefer to keep the
