from Slackware to Arch

Hi,

I have been using Slackware for a few months now and it has been a very informative and useful experience. Arch has got my attention through a few quite positive reviews recently.

What caught my eye in the first place is the bugtracker and the wiki, as well as the centralized repository for "extra" software. Also, I read uin these forums that Arch is less a one-man show, which is a problem with Slackware imo.

Anyway, I have started to set up Arch and was wondering what the main differences between the two distros are. I'd be interested in the opinion of people who do use the two.

Regards,
-pu
