    I remember installing Arch on an ancient MacBook I’ve got. Set the installer going then put it to one side knowing it was going to take a while.

    It took about 7 minutes.

    Of course, I then spent two hours trying to get the fucking Broadcom drivers to work, but that’s by the by.

      Sounds like me with my eee-PC going through a good chunk of troubleshooting just to find out the reason why Wi-Fi drivers aren’t working is because it’s a 32-bit system and the arch project as a whole decommissioned 32-bit.

      They have a dedicated 32-bit system branch, but still wifi driver support on it sucks.
