The guide offers a detailed, step-by-step process for installing Arch Linux 2021.06.01 on an x86 server, a versatile platform known for its adaptability and wide range of applications, from web hosting to high-performance computing. The installation begins with gathering essential requirements, including an x86 server with compatible hardware, the Arch Linux ISO file, and a USB drive or CD/DVD for creating bootable media. Using software like Etcher or Rufus, the ISO file is turned into a bootable device. After rebooting the server and adjusting the BIOS/UEFI settings to prioritize the bootable media, the Arch Linux installation environment is launched. The guide emphasizes the importance of partitioning the server’s disk using tools like fdisk or cfdisk, followed by formatting the root partition with the ext4 filesystem and mounting it. The base system is then installed via the command line, equipping the server with all the necessary Arch Linux packages. The final steps involve system configuration tasks such as creating a “fstab file” for automated partition mounting, changing the root to access the newly installed system, setting the time zone, generating the system’s locale, and assigning a hostname. By meticulously following these steps, users can successfully install Arch Linux, benefiting from its flexibility and the robust community support that comes with it. This comprehensive guide serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the capabilities of Arch Linux on an x86 server.
