No kidding - Arch on virtualbox - about a 15-20 minute install. Really, really
simple, just create a new VM (it already has defaults for Archlinux, so if you
give your VM the name 'Arch x86_64' for example, it fills in the remainder of
the settings with Archlinux named as the distro.
Then just download the 'net install' either i686, x86_64, or 'dual' for
both and
boot your VM from it.

Then it is a simple matter of following the text prompt to type arch/setup,
accept the defaults and select both the 'base' and 'base-devel' sets of
packages
and your done -> you have the most current (based on official software releases
- not betas) distro going. Arch is rarely more than 3 days behind upstream. Get
lost, just ask or:
