I tried arch a few years ago on a $150 netbook and liked it a lot. Is it fairly easy to map package dependency names to the Ubutnu versions? Also, is it possible to install both i386 and amd64 versions of a library?

Yes, you can enable the multilib repository for pacman; 32-bit libraries go in /usr/lib32/ and 64-bit in /usr/lib/.

As for your first question, give me a few example package names and I'll check how easy it is.
