That sounds like it could occasionally be confusing... but also interesting.
I've been meaning to try Arch, simply because it's one of the distros that I
haven't yet tried.

Fedora is interesting in that they use SELinux by default, but I don't
personally like their plans for mandating reboots for certain updates for
Fedora 18. That's "too much like Windows" for my liking. I prefer Debian's
restart of services after libc6 upgrades, without requiring a reboot.

Many distributions have switched to using systemd by default -- a few of the
holdouts are Ubuntu (which uses upstart), Debian (still using sysv-rc init
scripts, but now with dependency-based bootup), and Gentoo which is using
OpenRC.
