    Debian is super to make servers, because its easy too make automated installs and has and large package base. And its stable.
    Cons: packages are often old and new come only every 3-5 years.

    Debian is stable but packages are usually out of date, arch is cutting-edge and packages are updated with the latest version. The last one i don't know alot about so somebody else will have to awnser that

    If you are an advanced user I would say try them all and see for yourself which is best for you.

    To answer your question (sort of) I use and recommend Arch. That's just my preference though.

    Arch is there to prove your ability to build Linux from scratch, but smart users like me use apricity os

    @linuxer4fun how can you say that when you obviously haven't used Gentoo? Not that Arch isn't good, but plenty of people that like one also use and like the other equally.

    @linuxer4fun I thought Linux from Scratch was used to prove your ability to build Linux

    @linuxer4fun I don't believe so, LFS is actually making your own distro I thought
