“Linux server admins prefer lean, reliable, manageable Linux
distributions, and Arch Linux is one of the best.

“Seems like everybody’s running Ubuntu these days. It’s become
the default Linux distribution. I run it myself on several
machines.

“But it’s not perfect for everything. Linux is all about choice,
and if you want something besides a standard system bogged down
with all the bells and whistles, there are lots of choices.

“And for a straightforward, lightweight, command-line based
Linux — whether a server, an older desktop or laptop, or if you
just want to learn the Linux command-line better — it’s hard to
beat Arch Linux.”
