Arch64 is used by a majority of users now for future reference and good luck with Ubuntu! If you are relying on "following the guides to the letter", Arch probably isn't for you.

Installation hasn't been a problem at all. It's just the thing that messes up after some upgrades. This didn't just happen once but three times. I haven't ever had this on various distros I have used. Maybe it's just me because I know of friends who've had arch running nicely for over a year now. I, at one time, did suspect my system but I have Fedora running on the same system for a few months now without any hiccups. And even my old R&D sabayon install is working perfectly till date.

I installed arch more than 10 times in different lap tops and no problems. As said you should configure your system the way you like. Even you have to write hal policies to get the external drives mounted if you use hal.The forum is of great help.The community is great.

But, always there turns up to be one thing to another that ends up with a major goof up. I still have my 2 b0rked installs of arch. One of them is lying there with me unable to repair it at all. I tried asking on arch linux IRC channel so many times in vain. That's my main gripe against arch. On gentoo, I had to really get it to b0rk forcefully but with arch it happens without trying. Maybe, it's just me who's unlucky with arch as a good number of my friends have been using arch happily without problems, and all of us started almost together.
