Hello!! I think your curiosity about the file systems Arch supports can be satisfied by this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_systems As it says on the homepage, Arch supports i686 and x64. There is a separate Arch on ARM project that you might want to look into. http://archlinuxarm.org/ Cheers!!
