Today, August 1, 2013, the Arch Linux 2013.08.01 has been made available for download on mirrors worldwide (see download link at the end of the article).

As usual, at the beginning of every month, the Arch Linux developers cook an updated ISO image of the popular Arch Linux operating system, which contains a new kernel and updated packages ready for those who want to install Arch Linux on new machines.

As expected, Arch Linux 2013.08.01 is powered by Linux kernel 3.10 (3.10.3 is the actual version) and includes all the updates released during July 2013.

Keep in mind that this ISO image of Arch Linux is intended only for new installations. Therefore, existing Arch Linux users don’t need to download it. All they have to do is update their healthy installations using the sudo pacman -Syu command.

Arch Linux 2013.08.01 is distributed as a dual architecture ISO image, supporting both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms.
