[DEVS] Might want to look @ http://archlinux.linuxfreedom.com/
I found this site http://archlinux.linuxfreedom.com/ and I think the devs should take a look at it, because it is claiming to be the download website of Arch Linux.
Welcome to Arch!
You've reached the download website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures. We complement our official package sets with a community-operated package repository that grows in size and quality each and every day.
Our strong community is diverse and helpful, and we pride ourselves on the range of skillsets and uses for Arch that stem from it. Please check out our forums and mailing lists to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Arch.
In addition the files that are being linked to are not the official installation releases. Instead they are providing the archboot releases by tpowa.
Personally I think think the text needs to be changed because it is very misleading. However, I mainly just wanted make the people in charge aware of this issue.

It's not just arch - they do it for a lot of distributions, in the footer.

Everyone knew it cause its even part of the mirror list where you can download Arch
There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

It looks to me like a just fancy arch linux hosting server, with an little introduction to Arch...
Use the Source, Luke!

The description is directly from our homepage, except for one word. They added the word download in the first line.
And the links in the description link to this site.
I don't think it's intention is to claim to be the official download site, it seems to just want to host many linux iso files

Fustrated Windows users have two options.
1. Resort to the throwing of computers out of windows.

Somewhat ironic that they use flash on the website...
