  • Arch people tend to want people to know they use Arch (btw). You’ll also find a lot of posts about getting Arch working.

    Debian people tend to be too busy doing other things on their computers besides getting them working, so you’ll hear about it less.

    (Important: I’m not dumping on either distro here. Some people, myself included, like Arch exactly because it’s fun to play with and set up. Debian’s older packages tend to mean a more stable system. Use what you like.)















  • Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

    The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

    “doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

    • it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

    • it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

    In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

    Yay for English.
