Unfortunately, my linux experience leans heavily in debian based distros and a little to redhat. Arch, and its ilk archbang, are ones ive been meaning to try though.


That said, i've done a cursory look into the matter and the general response is photoshop and arch dont mix very well. On the other hand, while you may not like Ubuntu i read that potatochop works great in a buntu wine environment. Im not a fan of the unity interface so when i do need to use it i just apt-get gnome or kde desktop environment and all is dunky hory. If still ubuntu isnt wanted there's always my long standing favorite debian distro: Mint. Mint also tested gold for wine potatopchop use.

Random kweshtion: have you installed vbox guest additions? Doubt it would help with the color issue, but still good to do nonetheless. No idea why your pacman is flippin out when trying to access a repository. Hunch tells me its a configuration error, but seeing as my arch experience is zilch im not much help on that one. I'd ask one of my instructors that is a huge arch supporter..but weekend and all.
