I can't stand using CentOS because the packages are so far out of date. And yes, I understand *why* everything is so old, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
I like Arch because 1) it's easy to build from the ground up - most importantly the only daemons that I'll have running are the ones that I personally put into my rc.conf or start manually, and 2) Rolling release means the packages are always up to date. Once I build a server and everything's working fine, then I just don't update. When I do want to update, I do a pacman -Syu on a test server and if it doesn't break anything, then I can do it on all of the rolled-out servers.
