-Arch is known for using the latest versions of programs, which has given it an undeserved reputation of instability.
+Arch is a Linux software distribution that uses the _man(`pacman(8)') package manager.
+Arch performs little in the way of modification of upstream versions of packages and offers only the latest (or last noticed) revisions of programs in its repositories,
+which has given it a reputation for instability compared to other Linux software distributions that bug-test programs before offering them to users in standard release channels (for example, _ref(`#debian')).
