So basically I would like to learn about Linux, and I have heard that the best way is to install Arch Linux so that you can learn more about how to use the terminal etc. However, I googled many guides on how to install Arch Linux and all of them seem too complicated and difficult for me, even the 'beginner' ones. Can anyone teach me/link me to a guide?
BTW, out of curiosity, when you install Linux can you do so on your own or only with a guide?
Try a different distro like ubuntu it holds your hand a bit more
Check out the gentoo install guide. I do that on my own

are you using dhcp? add "config_eth0=( "dhcp" )" to /etc/conf.d/net if you haven't already, and run "rc-update add net.eth0 default". then reboot

i've done both already i'm pretty sure
when I run rc-update add net.eth0 default it says
net.eth0 already installed in runlevel 'default'; skipping

it says:
network interface eth0 does not exist
Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
