The installfest is on Feb 21 15:00 in VH1010. Osnews has a very glowing review of Arch Linux. http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5971 It looks interesting. It uses just .tar.gz packages but has its own system ("pacman") of solving dependencies and such that looks easy like Debian and Gentoo, without the out-of-date software and long compile times respectively. I think it might be a good distro to look into for people wanting something like Debian that is up-to-date. Most of the Debian-based distros that feature up-to-date packages like Libranet don't have free downloads.
