I've been running Arch for about 6 months now, I'm very impressed with it.

Any errors to share with us?

I'm now back in Debian (arch remains) and I'll be posting a review of Arch soonish. The basic feel is that APT/Aptitude/the-apt-repositories could learn from pacman, but Arch is inferior in most other respects.

Which respects? I'm interested to see your view on this- I still have Debian on here that I installed months ago but haven't used it because I really couldn't get on with apt.
