Anarchy - Linux

Anarchy Linux is a distribution aimed at bringing the Linux revolution to the world. We believe that Linux is the way of the future for desktop computing and provide you with a platform to install a custom Arch based operating system just the way you like. Anarchy Linux is intended for both novice and advanced users alike. Simply write the Anarchy Linux ISO to a CD or USB and boot from your computer or VirtualBox.

The Anarchy Linux ISO contains a full live system allowing you to try it before you install. The live system contains an XFCE4 desktop and software suite. The installer has support for multiple languages and offers a wide variety of configuration options. Every aspect of the install into consideration, leaving you with a fully free system, just the way you like it out of the box every time.

A lightweight semi-graphical version of the installer is also available. It can be used for a quick and easy install when a full live GUI is not necessary. Anarchy Linux is installed using a package base from the official Arch repository and also features a custom repository with additional packages.

Anarchy Linux is based on Arch Linux, but not supported.

Anarchy Linux replaces Arch Anywhere

2017-09-16

Arch Anywhere is no more due to a potential trademark violation pointed out by the Arch Linux(TM) team. I have decided to remove the name "Arch" entirely and go in the direction of my own Arch Linux(TM) based distrobution called Anarchy. The installer will remain the same and will still offer a full Arch base install with additional packages offered from the Arch official repos. The name Anarchy Linux will be migrated entirely over the next few days, along with the logo (new logo is now up).


We"re planning to do the first official release of Anarchy Linux sometime in the next 2-3 days which will include the same arch anywhere installer everyone knows and loves, and also some other big and exciting changes which have been in the works to make Anarchy Linux a distro in its own right.


Good things are happening and I see a bright future for the new distro. Check back soon for information on the new release

2017-09-02

We"re pleased to announce the long awaited release of a new major version. Arch Anywhere v2.2.9 has finally been released.

This release introduces a plethora of new features to the installer, including new software, bug fixes, and improvements to flexability.

One of the more notable changes in this release is the addition of a "Server" menu in additional software. Users have the ability to install a fully enabled LAMP or LEMP stack ready to serve a web page out of the box.

Software included in "Server" menu: (apache, bind dns, cups print server, lighttpd web server, nginx, openssh, postfix, samba, squid, vsftpd).

Steam has been added in the "Games" software menu. Installing steam requires enabling multilib and will prompt the user if it hasn"t been done already. Steam runs out of the box without any issues (as seen in screenshot).

Updates have also been made to the menu, as well as desktop icons enabled by default (to disable desktop icons: right click desktop / click "desktop settings" / click the "icon" tab / set "icon type" drop-down menu to "none").

Other notable changes to the installer include the ability to auto update mirrors by country code or to manually edit mirrorlist. This allows the user to have more control over the mirrorlist prior to install, or to skip updating mirrors.
