[arch-general] Arch as a web server

[d4n1]

I'm has used the archlinux in all. My servers are running firewall, web,
bd, proxy, DNS, dhcp and others. I'm used politics of update/upgrade, and
mark some packages to not update/upgrade. I'm used only the oficial mirror
in the pacman. I'm removed compilers and run hardenings.
