Another selling point for Arch is the rolling update nature of the beast. There will never be a "major update occurring every six months or whatever; it just gets updated whenever you run the update utility and if / when it finds packages to be updated. What surprises me about it is it resembles Debian Unstable but yet mostly production versions of applications are used and it very rarely breaks. I've run into a couple instances but things were resolved within a day each time.
