ArchLinux is nice, but they have a small following and very few devs, however it is stable and I've been using it for almost 2 years now without a problem.

Pro's:
Rolling updates, no need to ever install the base OS again.
Very fast to the gun with the latest and greatest software and updates
Very stable

Con's:
Small user community and not a friendly one at that, you get RT*M much more on their forums than anywhere else.
Wiki is not nearly as complete and comprehensive as the other distros, so you will have to have a good understanding of Linux before attempting this distro, because:
If it breaks, you are more or less on your own, or you will have to wait a few days for the update to fix said issue.
 
hmmm well i'm gonna look into these distros and visit fosscds
