Details
ArchBang is a derivative (spin-off) of ArchLinux it uses a minimal Arch system and adds an Openbox Window Manager with ArchBang scripts and configuration files. ArchBang is separate from Arch Linux and is in no way affiliated.

With Arch Linux, there is a fair amount of post-installation work to be done to build a functional desktop environment once the base Arch system is installed. With ArchBang, installation includes the base Arch system, and Openbox desktop environment. The ArchBang user skips the post installation work to have a functional desktop.
