Arch Linux Configuration

After using different Linux distributions, I find that they are installed with a bunch of pakages unnecessary for me. Therefore, I decide to configure a minimal OS based on Arch that suits my needs.

Pre-requisites

• An installed Arch Linux. You can use the script I wrote here which automates the whole Arch Linux installing process.

• Powerline Fonts (in both root and users)

If a bunch of lines show up, then all is well.
