Hi community,

Archman Linux - Xfce 2017.05 Codename: Leopard Stable Release

Archman Linux 2017-03  Leptailurus Serval was a great old stable release! Now we are proud to announce our current stable release we call “Leopard“.

Archman Linux, only Arch linux...

Archman GNU/Linux, Arch based linux distribution. Easy, lightweight and fast linux distribution. Uses the Xfce desktop environment. We are using Arch linux repositories. There is a repository named archman_repo for our own special packages. We do not want to grow this repository too much because we will leave some customizations to the user. Archman GNU/Linux, will provide both convenience and adventure to Arch users. We have unsupported video cards and wireless drivers in our repositories. In addition to these, package managers (pamac-octopi) are also available in our repositories. Default package manager is PAMAC.

Leopard
The common name "leopard" /ˈlɛ.pərd/ is a Greek compound of λέων leōn ("lion") and πάρδος pardos ("male panther"). The name reflects the fact that in antiquity, a leopard was believed to be a hybrid of a lion and a panther. The Greek word is related to Sanskrit पृदाकु pṛdāku ("snake", "tiger" or "panther"), and probably derives from a Mediterranean language, such as Egyptian. The name was first used in the 13th century. Other vernacular names for the leopard include graupanther, panther and several regional names such as tendwa in India. The term "black panther" refers to leopards with melanistic genes.

The scientific name of the leopard is Panthera pardus. The generic name Panthera derives from Latin via Greek πάνθηρ (pánthēr). The term "panther", whose first recorded use dates back to the 13th century AD, generally refers to the leopard, and less often to the cougar and the jaguar. Alternative origins suggested for Panthera include an Indo-Iranian word meaning "white-yellow" or "pale". In Sanskrit, this could have been derived from पाण्डर pāṇḍara ("tiger"), which in turn comes from पुण्डरीक puṇḍárīka (with the same meaning). The specific name pardus is derived from the Greek πάρδος (pardos) ("male panther").

Archman will use a wild cat codename for each stable version. The first codename is Leptailurus Serval. The latest release is code name Leopard. Each stable release will be a wild cat with backgrounds and wallpapers. Archman GNU/Linux uses calamares as system installer
