Another month, another ISO image of one of the most acclaimed distributions of GNU/Linux, Arch Linux, is now available for download, today, April 1, 2015. Arch Linux is a highly customizable, powerful, and lightweight computer operating system with a rolling-release model.

It has become a tradition to release a new Arch Linux ISO image on the first day of each month, so today is no different for the Arch Linux developers, as they’ve just prepared Arch Linux 2015.04.01, which includes all the updates that have been released during the month of March 2015.

Therefore, we can report that Arch Linux 2015.04.01 is now powered by Linux kernel 3.19.2 and includes all the updates that were released on the official software repository of the distribution in March 2015, as well various small improvements, some bugfixes, and new packages.

Being a rolling-release operating system, there is no need to download the new Arch Linux ISO image in order to update an existing installation of Arch. Simply run the Pacman package manager and make sure that all the available updates are installed. Arch Linux 2015.04.01 is for those who want to install a fresh copy of the distribution.

As usual, you can download the new Arch Linux 2015.04.01 right now from Softpedia, where it is distributed as a dual-arch ISO image that supports both 32 and 64-bit hardware architectures. And no, this is not an April Fools’ Day joke.
