14 Arch is NOT based on gentoo, ArchLinux is it's own thing, PKGBUILDS
15 for building, and pacman as package manager, and there's systemd which
16 is used there as default, on top of that, is the /bin and /sbin merge
17 in in /usr, so arch and gentoo are different and it's own thing each.

23 But since Arch packages are very vanilla as those of Gentoo, the Arch
24 documentation is a good source, but you have to be aware of the base
25 system differences.
