I wish Arch was supported officially on things like AWS and other server infrastructures. It's clearly my favourite distro for many years. But it's pretty heartbreaking to see that its support is only community driven.

May I add my thanks to all the developers and maintainers for making ArchLinux the excellent distribution that it is. I converted all my machines to Arch over the past couple of years, and I value the philosophy, the up-to-datedness, and the speedy and efficient package management, as well as the amazing level of stability given how current the packages are. I would particularly like to thank Rod Smith for helping in herding me, as one of the rEFInd learners, into the knowledge pen, and making UEFI boot work well on so many relatively new machines. The rolling distro model and the "Arch way" really do work fantastically well.
May ArchLinux users have a great 2014 and beyond.

Over the last 2 weeks I have replaced 3 fedora servers with Arch - and
want to say thank you . That's the last of my fedora machines now and I am all Arch and they are all working really well.
The new boxes are haswell UEFI and boot using refind. Setting this up
was straightforward with Arch.
Thank you for making Arch the best linux distro.
Happy New Year

I just wanted to add to your testimony I run Arch too on a server and it is very pleasant to use. And YES, running Arch as a web server is a good and feasible solution, even with the high number of upgrades. Definitively one of the best distro out there, thanks to its very dynamic and reactive dev community.
Thanks to all and HNY.

Salutations! While corporate support would fullfill some finanical necessities, I think the community aspects of Arch ensure that not a single entity maintains disproportional power over the Linux distribution. Arch is really meant for mechanics rather than businessmen. Regards, Mark -- Mark Lee <mark@markeelee.com>
