This splash is the best I've ever seen :)
Running Arch, the only thing missing was a background image ^^

Can I just ask why there are so many Ubuntu users wanting to use this Arch bootsplash. I mean like 70% of the content on this site seems to be dedicated to Ubuntu...why not use something from the distro you are running. I mean thats the point to me
