[arch-general] Arch as a web server

If I was running arch because I wanted greater control or a more
specific setup, I would certainly either use something like ideally a
CARP firewall or if not possible, taking the performance and
secuity hit of virtual machines to enable fallover to a backup
webserver or alternatively test updates on a test machine before
updating.

You should do this on Debian or any server but it will be less of an
issue and so may or may not justify the extra effort/expense?.


In short, arch will likely be better but Debian will almost certainly be
more carefree.

My preference is OpenBSD.
