I have to agree with splatterdash. IMHO I've only started using Arch recently and the greatest part about it so far is the amount of things I've learned to manually do while setting up and configure my system. There are many things that I had taken for granted with other distributions because they are "user friendly."

Also, risking my neck here, Archbang is a neat little distro that's pretty much arch + openbox with a few pieces of bloat. A dedicated arch user might ask "why?," but it is extremely easy to use and install (and it is arch). Just something to take a look at if you decided you're too lazy to look at the arch wiki and take 10 minutes to do the real install. Archbang is polished enough and more of a "complete" preassembled distro that I thought would have done a lot better.

Plus, who doesn't love to tinker.
