Currently for my personal use I don't want anything else other than Arch but for machines that have more users and _need_ to keep working I'm using centos (devs I'm sorry to hinder your world domination plans but I think I'm not competent enough to manage Arch on a server so better use something that in theory will give me less surprises).
There are multiple issues at work here - updateing multiple machines automatically, possibly from one master copy. e.g. I have 3 desktop machines out of which I use 2 regularly and I have to spend sometime upgrading even if the cache is shared. - for server install minimal is better and arch can be tweaked down to bare minimum necessary. - testing for upgrades. I think something like linux containers would be handy here to upgrade things and test. If the multiple sync. method is available, then things can be easily synced. to-and-from. Kernle upgrades are the only exception. -- Regards Shridhar
