To make a program not start on startup, either apt-get remove it, or chmod -x the init script.
I've used both Arch and Ubuntu extensively, and I like them both. For servers, I tend to use Ubuntu server edition, which really isn't that much different to Arch + a few hours of setup. It's really just a stripped down Debian flavored linux... nothing complex about it... but you do get the benefit of being downstream from lots and lots of testing, Arch not so much.
Pacman is 10x simpler then deb/ppa, so Arch is great if you like to tinker, or if you are building a special purpose system - eg for freeswitch, mythtv, xbmc, kiosk browsing, appliances etc.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoThanks, I like Ubuntu Server as well. If it's good enough for Facebook (so I've heard, at least) it's good enough for me. I currently run Ubuntu desktop 10.04, and several Ubuntu Servers in bridged VirtualBox vm's for development, which lets me simulate a multi-server production environment on my desktop. However, I've been thinking about switching the desktop to Arch using Xmonad or i3, and KVM for the vm's (keeping Ubuntu Server). Any experience running KVM on Arch? Assuming there's no issues with it.

- SkyMarshal 15y agoGreat writeup, with scripts on github to boot. Thanks! I also see qemu-kvm can run Windows too, which somehow escaped my notice. Cool. If only it could OS X as well, I could skip buying a Mac and spend the money on a souped up dev laptop from XoticPC instead.
