Any chance of getting an Arch64 image? I'm trying to setup development/build servers and I need both 32 bit and 64 bit systems.

You can always roll your own. Various methods come to mind, but maybe easiest would be to create a small disk and deploy Gentoo x64. Create another disk for Arch. Boot Gentoo, d/l the Arch iso, mount it, run arch/setup and install to 2nd disk.

Just curious, why deploy Gentoo x64 to do this? Is that just your preference or could you just as easily use anything else?

Anything 64-bit would be fine, but Gentoo is the closest thing to Arch.

Finnix x64 would be really useful for this sort of thing... actually, I see on finnix.org that it supports and "auto-detects" 64-bit. Hmm.

Arch Linux x86_64 is now available in the distribution wizard (and it's 2009.02!).
