I think George is talking about a VPS he wants for personal use, or at
least outside of the realm of WPLUG itself.  That is why I mentioned
to him that DigitalOcean offers Arch in addition to Linode.  I
personally would never choose Arch for a server, but would maybe
choose something like the Arch-based Manjaro (more "cutting edge" than
"bleeding edge") since it's less likely to break terribly on a `pacman
-Syyu'.

I will let him speak for himself though with respect to what he meant exactly.
