Why does Arch use .tar.gz as package files?
As opposed to a tar.gz file with a .pac extension much like a .deb from Debian. I'm just curious...
Arch is a great Distro. It has taken over my desktop... something that hasn't happened since 1999!

Nevermind... I found the official reason here:

If possible, I would like to add my vote to the "confusing/long" portion of the above.
