ericcoleman··on What Linux Distro is the best for a developer on a laptop?
You nailed it, configuration management. Getting a little difficult managing the Arch servers in production, making sure updates are safe, etc.

Most of our developers seem more comfortable with ubuntu/debian than Arch as well.

ericcoleman··on What Linux Distro is the best for a developer on a laptop?
It's really just up to what your personal preferences are, mostly related to packaging and setup.

I've been using ArchLinux for a while, but have been slowly moving to stock debian.

ericcoleman··on System Administrator Appreciation Day
My first exposure to *nix operating systems was when I was a teenager. We had a CompUSA store I was vising with my father, when I convinced him to buy a box with a devil[1] on the front cover.

I took home the box that said 'FreeBSD', popped in the cd(s) and installed, reading the giant manual(s) that came with the discs along the way. I was horrified when I finally was finished, rebooted and was stuck at '$'. Having no real idea what I was doing, I had destroyed my windows installation, and the only way I knew to continue was to keep reading the manuals. My career started right here.

(I believe it was FreeBSD ~4.2, but can't seem to locate a picture of the boxed version.)
