   I've done the typical Arch installation in the past and it annoyed the   
   Hell out of me. I'm sure that there are fanatics out there who need to   
   have total control over their system, but I prefer to just install   
   something based on Arch like Endeavour and learn the system at my own   
   pace. That said, I can't say enough about how awesome Arch is. The AUR   
   by itself is the best reason to use the distribution since it makes a   
   lot of open-source projects easily obtainable to the user. You still   
   have to compile them as you would in any other distribution, but the   
   process is automated.
