While thinking about this, i did consider all the rolling release distro's
out there. Gentoo was out as i am a non technical user. Sidux and Foresight
as they are not available in 64bit. Debian testing again as I am a non tech
user who would like to use a stable system.

PCLinuxOS and AntiX are partial rolling releases i heard but not sure how.
So that leaves Arch. Will wait till i am more comfortable with Terminal.
LMDE which came out recently is the one that I will certainly try when they
come out with 64bit. I think i will be most comfortable with that.
