Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

k6

That's because you don't know what you are talking about. The K6 is an i586 CPU, and so Arch doesn't work on it at all.

according to the Crux linux FAQ: k6, k6-2, and k6-3 are i586. Arch (at v 0.4) had some i586 isos floating about. but i don't see any recent i586 ISOs on the Arch mirror. so it's possible (although unlikely) that someone has used Arch with i586 packages.
