Back then, in 2003, I read an article here about a new Arch Linux release. It was one of the first releases they had ever. About 0.6 or sth.
I installed Arch Linux to give it a try. I ended up dumping my Debian installation for it.
Since then, I never reinstalled my system. Arch Linux progressed _a lot_, just as the linux kernel and a lot of userspace stuff did in the last five years.
My old Arch installation is still running. Some updates broke stuff, and you had to keep an eye on them: the transition of configuration files has to be done manually. But in the end, it is the same system as in 2003, but completely up-to-date with the latest and greatest.
Congratulations! This small "cutting edge" distro has proven to be a stable system; it never let me down.
Keep up the good work!
