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.

Thanks for the review, Adam! I have to agree there is no real incentive to catch on, although I find it fun to use. As said, they are trying to play catch up and it's probably too late. When they catch up, where will everyone else be? However, as I said, I find it enjoyable to use simple distros like this with KDE 3.x and pretty much nothing else. I hope some of these outfits survive so people can get their hands dirty in them.
