Who is doing what with their Arch installs.
Hmmm... there was another option that is not showing up. Commercial internet servers.
Oh well.

Actually, I miss a "All of the above". Since I don't distinguish between Work and Home Desktop I chose Home first.

Home desktop, but if I ever set up a server it'll run Arch.

I mostly use it as a home desktop but it also servers as an apache web server.

Hi there!! my first post here...!
I'm using Arch for work and home for about 2 months, this is my first distro that i use for more than a day... i'm a extreme newbie to linux and Arch so far didn't affected my productivity. I use it to design and webdevelopment.

I'd have to pick "All of the above", but there isn't a radio button for that choice.

It is installed on my Desktop which is rarely booted into Linux, as I can't get my ancient tv tuner to work in linux.
My laptop is the exact opposite. It dual boots, but hasnt booted into windows since i had to send my laptop in to have work done on it about 7 months ago. So I guess laptop is the best choice for me.

Almost same for me, only it's not because of a tv tuner and I've only had the laptop for a week.

Sorry - it was whipped together before I left work.
Pick the one that is most important or the one you use most. I could choose several choices but work is the one I would select because it is the one I use the most.

I had it installed on my laptop, but for some reason, it wouldn't allow me to connect to the internet at school... was just too lazy to figure out why, and I'll be getting a new one in a few months anyway
But, I'm on my desktop 99% of the time, where Arch is installed, so it doesn't really matter

laptop... working great

Home desktop use only at the present. But, I'm considering upgrading my MythTV boxes with a newer version of Myth. If (when) I do I'll probably just go ahead and install Arch on those boxes while I'm at it.

2 home desktops atm

Desktop.
I would be pleased to use it as a workstation but I can't make Maya works on Arch (yeah yeah, I know, I should use blender...).

I used Arch on VMware on Windows XP on at first company where I'm working,
then on server on second company where I'm working too (firewall, storage server (samba), printing server for local network from 30 windoze machines).
Now I've got new PC at home, so I installed Arch on it too.

I used archlinux on my main ws and laptop at home. While it figures out that it takes 2 much time to keep both of them up to date, I use it only on the laptop.
As the laptop is rarely used, I guess a major update will brake it's neck in between half a year...

Just a thought: Try scanning with a "scanner", instead of a printer.

Home desktop and perhaps laptop in future

Is it wise to use a bleeding edge distro for commercial servers? Ok, i know that problems are treated A.S.A.P. but would someone risk server downtime if anything goes wrong?
Just asking, i am a very amature user.

Development steps:
1) Build server and load applications
2) Stress-test, burn-in test, generally try to break
3) Ship servers -- each points solely to your company's public Arch mirror (/etc/cron.dailiy/archlinux => 'pacman -Suy')
4) Setup a few local servers with latest snapshot
5) Arch's bleeding-edge changes march on...
Maintenance steps:
1) Nightly update a couple of local servers from your internal Arch mirror
2) Stress-test, burn-in test, generally try to break
3) At some milestone, try to update a snapshot server, and repeat step #2
4) Push out changes to your company's public Arch mirror
5) Clients' servers safely update to new milestone
Else the phone rings off the hook... :shock:
Rinse. Repeat...

I am "full time" linux user (I never had Windows) and from December 2005 I am Arch user. I have home desktop and I use Arch for work too (some programs for genetics). It works very good and I don' have many problems (3x knock on the wood ) ). In my opinion as non computer educated person is Arch very good distro.
