Hello all. I just installed Arch Linux today. I didnt really like debian's style of releases. Like, the stable, testing, and unstable release system. However, I did agree with the rolling release idea. I had tried Gentoo a while ago, and I have better things to do than watch text go by for hours on end, only for it to not work... So I found Arch as a happy medium. My system is up and running, with fluxbox as the window manager, and no desktop. I'm really loving it! I do think that Arch, and of course Linux Mint on the laptop, are for me. My laptop has a permanent /home with Mint. The desktop is for testing other distros and such. It took me a few hours to install, though that was due to incorrect mirror setup. Meaning the downloading of packages took 4 hours... I dun goofed there! Its all good now though.
All in all, I will be sticking with Mint for a very, very long time. I will also be using Arch for equally as long. Even on the first day of Arch, I highly reccomend it as being a really good system for the more advanced linux user. Not quite Gentoo, not Debian, but a happy medium that is what you make it out to be.
