Debian and Arch are my favorite too. I just wish Debian had a bit shorter release cycle. But it's a trade off, longer release cycle == stable release.

I use Arch on my workstations. They don't need as stable a platform as my server. And any downtime would be minimal and easy to schedule around.

Until this weekend I was also using Debian on my servers and Arch on my workstation. Recently I've started to manage my servers with Puppet. Since Puppet don't support pacman, I installed Squeeze on my workstation and I'm now managing it with Puppet. I might have to follow testing on my workstation, but the advantage of sharing parts of the configuration with my servers has been huge.

I'm sure I read an article where the author used git as a configuration management tool.

Now that would be fun.
