Ummm... isn't pacman the package manager for Arch?

Yes, that's why I'm in the ubuntu ARCH subforum.

I liked using Shaman, a GUI for pacman.

See the links at the bottom of this page :

@Redrazor: When I'm looking for the package name of something I want to install on Arch, I often go to this page first:

http://www.archlinux.org/

& at the bottom of the recent updates column that's on the right hand side is a little More... (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update) link which takes you to a page where you can search.

So if you type in xfce in the search field there, you will get a list of interesting related files where you will usually find what you want & sometimes find bonuses that you didn't even know existed. :-)

You will notice that you can refine your search for 32bit or 64bit & also repo' locations too.
