This is because Archlinux is the only distribution where sanity prevailed over politics and the desire of backward compatibility.
Oh WOW!
Tempting ...
I've been running it a 4-5 boxes since 2009. Alan McRae is the architect behind it. It is an amazing distro, bleeding edge, all done based on fundamental Linux principles. But, get ready for an install *without* an installer. Arch has its place and openSuSE has its place. Neither are "better" than the other, they just fill different niches in the Linux market. I encourage everyone to install/use Arch, and do so for at least 6 months, so you learn the way the distro works and not just how to run it. It is a different philosophy that produces a top quality distro on 1/1000 the budget opensuse does :) Just as openSuSE has its brilliant parts, Arch has its brilliant parts as well. The only downfall for Arch is that development takes precedence over backwards compatibility. So it may not be as well suited for a long-term server setup as other distros. That being said, I've run both my office and home production servers on it since 2009. It is well worth the learning experience. -- David C.
