The ultimate Linux distro for the semi-poweruser. Its more bleeding edge then Fedora, more solid/stable then Ubuntu (not Debian level, no sir, but close enough for desktop use), with AUR - giant software repositories (stuff Fedora didn't hear of, one click away... or command) and last, but not least, best community anywhere.
But be prepared to to spend your free weekend to set it, and polish, it up as it pretty much requires you to fit everything by hand, and then trim it to your liking.
