 Hi Jon
 Welcome to the list.
 I've nothing to add to the comments made so far by other users suffice to
 say if you're used to Debian I'd stick to that. I've no experience of 64bit
 so wont make a comment, the other guys and girls will be more than happy to
 help you.
 Enjoy

 Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
 intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System
 packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the
 stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the
 command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
