    After you have finished installing Arch, you basically do not have to worry about it.
    I wouldn't be so sure about that @manasij. I have read that a lot of users have lost wifi after kernel upgrades as well as after a system update. You are given complete control of your system after all. So there is a chance something might go wrong or break!

    I ran into an issue 20 minutes after the xserver installation. I went to re-install a package for the desktop UI and manually canceled in the middle of the installation and lost my network. I rebooted and tied fixing it but luckily it was a fresh install, so i didn't hesitate not one bit reinstalling.

    Check out my desktop now. I finished the installation of the cairo-dock too. Which btw is very customizable!

    As I said, use the LTS kernel .... or learn how to downgrade the kernel quickly.

    Cancellig when the system packages are being installed (not downloading) can damage *any* OS in the world.

    Nice.. cairo worls great for me too...
    though Gnome 3 is not my cup of tea.
    KDE 4.8.3 is much more flexible and remains out of my way when actually using the computer.
