Easy and fast way for installing new programs

It is very easy to install any software in this distro (it uses AUR). I use it as an office server with virtual machines running different OSes like Windows Server 2008 R2 or Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon desktop etc., so that my clients can access their files easily from anywhere via remote connections using SSH terminal services installed within those VMs. And also have used it recently when needed some packages were not available through official repositories of Ubuntu which are supported by canonical but they work fine after adding them manually into source lists file /etc/.

Pros

Best thing about magaieas its ease for installation new applications, even if you don't know much linux stuffs just try few simple commands once then your troubleshooting goes fastly! No need more knowledge than "apt get" command :D.And all package versions up date every month automatically too :) So no worries at least there will be newer

Cons
