Why is the Archlinux image missing from the control panel?

Posted on August 25, 2014

Hi,

Why is the Arch image missing from the ‘droplet creation page’? It was there before. I couldn’t find anything about in in the blog or on the support, and if the decided to stop the support for Arch (witch I hope they didn’t), why did they do that ?

Try out this script! It converts a Debian 7.0 installation into a fully-updated Arch installation. Feedback appreciated!

ok, that’s a shame, but I understand. Let’s switch over to CentOS then.

Thanks for your quick answer!

Also Arch Linux is Bleeding edge, which is never a good idea for a server.
