+1 for Stephen's comments.  I've never touched an Arch system whose 
package management wasn't already broken when i walked/sshed up to the 
machine and wasn't still broken when i left it.  I'm sure that some 
people can make it work, but apt-based distros work so well, i can't 
understand why anyone would want to reinvent the package management side 
of things.  Gentoo even more so - compiling everything from source is 
for build engineers.
