Someone took our name !!!
There is a GNU arch
GNU arch is a revision control system, similar in purpose to tools such as CVS, SCCS, and Subversion. It is used to keep track of the changes made to a source tree and to help programmers combine and otherwise manipulate changes made by multiple people or at different times.

Re: Someone took our name !!!
So? That's GNU Arch, not ArchLinux. 
ArchLinux doesn't own the word arch.

Plus that is a revision control system like CVS, it would be somewhat different if it was an actual distro. Even then... there's not much anyone could do about it.

Re: Someone took our name !!!
There's also ArchLUG: "Your gateway to Linux and Open Source resources for St. Louis region individuals, businesses, and community." The name of the group comes from the Gateway Arch, a St. Louis (Mo.) landmark.
Funnily enough, ArchLUG has a section for Arch Linux in it's Kwiki, but it's inactive and inaccurate. It says Arch Linux is based on Red Hat!
