ArchLinux breakdown

gistfile1.txt
+ Light, simple
+ Pacman is nice
+ Rolling release avoids big version updates
+ Decent docs
+ Decent community
+ If you're coming from an easier distro, it'll put some hair on your neck
- Going to take a bit to grok the setup process, especially if UEFI is involved
- If you haven't used systemd, you'll need to get used to it
- Not going to enjoy the same kind support as *buntu for random projects that release 'linux packages'
- Rolling release means at some point you'll have to fix something, with varying degrees of complexity involved
