    I’m not one of those Arch evangelicals, but this isn’t true at all now.

      100%. I’ve got servers running arch for the past 5 years or so and they’re the most stable systems I’ve got. I got so tired of the painful upgrade paths on “stable” distros so decided to switch a server to a rolling release.

      After I found arch got security patches into the repos faster than the stable distros could backport, I decided to switch them all over.

      I’m even a mad man and have them self update with a script that checks informant (or something, can’t actually remember) for installed packages against news. If no installed packages are found in news, it continues with the scheduled update.

      It’s glorious.

          Especially when customizing the kernel is the default experience with Gentoo, reducing the theoretical attack surface even more if you know what you’re doing.

      Did the internet lie to me?
