can anyone confirm this comment with some data, or just anecdotally? I am an arch user, but don't use reddit, and this claim sort of worries me.

I know that http://www.reddit.com/user/dons is constantly evangelizing Haskell and Arch on reddit, to the point where he's self-parodying. He's also single-handedly responsible for there being 1314 (!) haskell packages in Arch.

At least Arch gives the tweakers a bit more rope with which to form either a noose or a lasso.

Sorry, in college my officemates and I were fond of coining epithets for our annoyances (also see 'duggalo' and 'gamer scum').

If the Reddit crowd has switched to Arch, I'm happy for them. They grow up so fast!
