There is almost nothing written for ubuntu that won't work on arch or really most current distros. When I ran arch I did have to get familiar with assumptions people make due to ubuntu, but this would never be more than patching a config file or configuring some environment variable. And those are useful and transferable skills.

hmm. thanks for sharing. that's the kind of stuff I don't want to do though. i already have my own software to write and use a wide array of tools. i can't afford to lose a morning on that kind of stuff. plus i want to be able to tear down and rebuild without a ton of custom config
