Arch is - slim but scalable, - independent (note this!), - transparent, - easy to configure, - well documented - and has a large community. Often people are told Arch is not for beginners because the user needs some experience. I would say experience is always good. But even a beginner can install an Arch system with X11 on top in an hour or so using one of the more or less official installation guides. And than he can get his own experience himself and learn much more than on "full automatic" systems like Ubuntu or openSuse. One thing could be a problem for beginners: Arch's rolling release philosophy and the continuous updates every day. 99.9% of the updates are safely installed by Arch's very stable pacman program. But yes, it can happen that the user must control or tune some things manually. This means the user has than to edit /etc/rc.conf or so. But normally he will truely be able to do this. T.M.
