TY, I think I fudged my debian server as one of my HDD was 100% full. Sabnzbd, mediatomb and samba all stopped working lol.

Data was safe and it didn't matter as I needed to update the HW anyway.

Now using arch in a non-gui server, is this wise?

As long as it isn't a mission-critical production server, then its both wise & hardcore

It just makes you learn faster when things go wrong

Arch has a sort of stable/safe kernel for servers as well: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/kernel26-lts/ might be worth checking out.

There is also a special ArchServer project: http://www.archserver.org/ this looks appealing but I haven't had a chance to fire it up. At the very least it would offer increased stability

If it is for server use, then you obviously have to expect that bleeding edge will give you headaches now and again

Doing it on three, having no issues.

My arch desktop hasn't fell over yet either lol.

The server is only running sabnzbd, mediatomb, NFS, samba, transmission-cli. So not much to go wrong is there?

Nope. Checking Arch-related news before updating is always a good idea, by the way. Then you won't get stung like I did with my desktop >.<
