Knowing that ArkLinux is the offspring of Bernhard "Bero" Rosenkraenzer (interview here), a former Red Hat employee and KDE hacker, should make it one of the more interesting and, arguably, credible new Linux distributions to hit the streets in recent seasons.

I agree Rajan R. And this is why Red Hat is going after the corporate desktop (with some help of Sun as the 'customer provider') and not for the "common desktop".
There is no alternative desktop product that can *truly* compete with Mac OS X or XP. The refined, elegant apps and user experience are just not there. And the thing is that MS and Apple are continuing to bring new things to their experience, while the Linux crowd are just following three-four steps (or years) behind. However, Linux does a good server, I admit that.
