• Arch Linux for Banana Pi by Ryad: We all know how tedious it is to configure a Linux distro like Arch. Thanks to Ryad, it's easier with this custom OS based on version 1412 (kernel 3.4.103): sunxi-tools (fex2bin, bin2fex, etc.), fbturbo, slim, lxde, xfce4, yaourt, mplayer & XBMC Gotham. | RYAD'S BLOG > Banana Pi / Arch Linux / Customized Distribution
