Arch Linux (or Arch) is a great Linux distribution intended to be lightweight and simple. The design approach of the development team focuses on simplicity, elegance, code correctness and minimalism.
It is binary-based, unlike source-based distros (see gentoo, which is used by l33t hax0rs who think that compiling everything for a 1% performance gain is worth their time).
It is loved among knowledgeable linux users for features such as the 'pacman' package manager and the AUR (Arch User-Community Repository) which contains PKGBUILD scripts which simplify building packages not in the main repositories from source.

Arch User: What's up, gentoo user? I just finished installing Arch Linux, it took about 20 minutes.
Gentoo User: I'm just recompiling my kernel for an estimated 1% performance increase on this AMD K6. I expect it to be done in about 2 weeks. I can't wait!

Get the arched backmug. Arch nemesis are friends from a long time ago that have more or less equivalent powers, but also have oposing ideologies. They are therefore always fighting with each other. Examples:
- Obi Wan and Darth Vader
- The Republican and Democratic Parties

- The Republican and Democratic Parties
Professor Xavier and Magneto are eachother's arch-nemesis. They play chess together and have been friends for a long time, but they completely disagree about the relationship that mutants should have with humans, so they are always fighting.

Get the Arch Linuxmug. A sexual position in which the male moves his pelvis in a "U" shaped fashion, thus creating an upside down arched motion. If the male happens to be standing, the arch of the arch deluxe may be further animated with up and down movement through rocking the feet from heel to toe.
Man, I gave it to her good last night. We got pretty wild and she got the arch deluxe treatment from the back.
