I use Archlinux for 4 years

I use Archlinux for 4 years now and never ever looked back at another distro (and I tried them all in the past 10 years). Although it must be considered as what other distros call "unstable", but for me it is the most stable Linux I ever used.
Sidux for example always crashed, or packages were not upgradable etc, but I never experienced this with Arch.
And with Pacman Archlinux has the (for me) best package manager I ever used.

ABS is also fantastic, never seen such an easy package-creation tool. I once created packages for Debian, what a pain. ABS is so much easier.

The third thing I really like: Arch is not changing the upstream content, like other distros do (renaming config files, moving them into different places that are not mentioned in the upstream documentation of course).
And /etc/rc.conf is the easiest way to setup a Linux system.

So have fun with your Arch!
