April 2010 release of the TalkingArch CD

[Michael Whapples]

ArchLinux is its own system using pacman and .pkg.tar.gz/.pkg.tar.xz 
packages.

There is a page on the Arch wiki comparing it to other distributions and 
other unix systems (eg. freebsd), 
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Compared_to_Other_Distributions.

I originally started with slackware, moved to debian for quite a time 
and now moved onto ArchLinux, if you like a system where you configure 
it for your needs its good, if you want everything done for you and GUI 
tools only (don't think you are from what you say) then Arch may not be 
for you. One thing I like is that they say they try for technical 
simplicity.
