I believe you use Arch yourself, right..so why should that surprise you? Also, the Arch Linux wiki has a lot of documentation that is well-written if you ask me. Arch has an installation process that I find to be a lot easier in most cases than other installations. I mean..the number of steps to installing Gentoo is far more than Arch, if you ask me. I also like how Arch doesn't cause a lot of stuff you don't need running even on the LiveCD environment. So many LiveCDs I find are running ssh, and a billion of other services that you don't even require in a live environment. The other big point I'd like to make is that not only do other services run on most CDs I've tested, but so many of them try to automatically probe for Eth0 and activate it. I don't like that. In my case, I couldn't have that happening in any case because I use a wireless network over here. While I find Ethernet a more simpol technology in general with Linux or anything else as a dhcpcd eth0 is required the number of connected cables poses an issue. What about yourself? As for handeling wireless on my laptop when I'm in a hurry I store all my configuration settings in a network profile for that particular network.
