From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch, nothing beats the availability and ease of installing packages from the AUR
Same! I used to distro-hop like a mad man until I got confident enough to try out Arch. Software availability is king when it comes to Arch and I simply can't get go back to other distros anymore, at least for desktop use.
