Guess what? It's the first day of the month, and you can download yet another installation image of one of the most acclaimed, customizable, and lightweight distributions of GNU/Linux.

Yes, we're talking about Arch Linux, a powerful computer operating system that follows a rolling-release model and the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. Arch Linux 2015.05.01 is now available for download.

The new Arch Linux 2015.05.01 image includes all the updates that have been released during the month of April 2015, and it is the first ISO based on the recently released Linux 4.0 kernel (Linux kernel 4.0.1 is the actual version that will be installed).

As it became a tradition for Arch Linux developers to release a new ISO image on the first day of each month, anyone who wants to install a fresh copy of Arch Linux can do so today by downloading the Arch Linux 2015.05.01 release right now from Softpedia.

As usual, Arch Linux is distributed as a hybrid, dual-arch ISO image that includes software packages optimized for both 64 and 32-bit hardware architectures. Existing Arch Linux users don't need to download the new ISO in order to update their systems.
