One of the features I really love about Apple's notebooks is the two fingers scrolling enabled touchpad they have.

It's easier and faster to use than the regular side scrolling available on normal notebooks.

So.. I recently had a look at the synaptics documentation (synaptics is the driver which manages the touchpads under Linux).

Well.. After some reading and a bit of google searches it turns out that is possible to enable two fingers scrolling on recent synaptics touchpads even on normal/regular notebooks (not Apple Macbooks).

When I installed Arch Linux on my notebook I choose to install LILO as Boot Loader.

Why? Because, as a long time Slackware user, I didn't use GRUB enough and I didn't have the time to learn it.

Unfortunately, maintaining an Arch Linux system with LILO as boot loader is quite tiring because every time the default kernel is changed lilo needs to be reinstalled.

The main ArchLinux ftp server recently had some bandwith problems due to a lot of people using it has their main mirror for their pacman updates.

This issues have been fixed by the archlinux administrators by throttling the bandwith of ftp.archlinux.org. This means that downloading from it will be extremely slow.
