 ===What is Linux?===
-Linux is the name of the kernel powering the GNU system. GNU/Linux, also called Linux is a free and '''[http://opensource.org/osd.html open-source]''' operating system, meaning that you may freely use and freely distribute it. Originally developed in 1991 by Finnish Programmer '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Linus Torvalds]''', Linux is an exceptionally robust and reliable kernel, which combined with the GNU system is most commonly used for internet servers, mobile phones, and tablets (e.g., Android). Additionally, the use of GNU/Linux as an alternative operating system for personal computers has also been growing over the years, with several million users having already discovered the benefits of it.

 ===Can Manjaro be converted into a full Arch system?===
-Yes, although only tested on Manjaro versions 0.8.0 and 0.8.1. This course of action is not recommended, and the Manjaro team cannot offer support for a converted system, since it is no longer Manjaro but depending directly on Arch. Still, a conversion script to test out in VirtualBox is available on our forum '''[http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=245 here]'''
+Yes, though this course of action is not recommended, and only persons with the requisite knowledge should attempt such an opperation. Practically speaking it would be simpler to prepare your system & data for the conversion & just install Arch.
