Arch is a variant of the GNU/Linux system, so please let's not call it "Arch Linux". Calling the whole system "Linux" is, in effect, giving Torvalds credit for our work, so we get no credit for it. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html [1] and http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html [2], plus the history in http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html [3]. Since Arch is a version of GNU/Linux, the right term is Arch GNU/Linux.
As many people on this list know, I too prefer the term GNU/Linux, and it's been GNOME's official policy to use the term. FWIW, I try to avoid this problem by referring to the project as just "Arch".
