Welcome to the first of many PHR incidents to come in my life. I updated grub and rebooted. What followed was 6 hours of endless bootloader overwriting, staying awake till 2am, wiping out the windows bootloader twice, installing Elive, Arch, Mandriva on spare partitions, hoping that somehow i could get the bootloader to boot into my system. It kept complaining about not being able to find /dev/hdd2, the root filesystem.…

Well it isn't in the Arch Repos yet, but the release announcement and visual guide do make me drool :D. And its good they made the panel go all the way to the edge of the screen. …
