Linux "equivalent" to freebsd

If you have a (Free)BSD mindset and like your rc.conf but don't mind 
typing "pacman" instead of pkg_* or portupgrade -P * and you don't mind using 
something called ABS for src packages, which is like ports, only with a stage 
install before live-system install, then you may just like ArchLinux.

I tried many but besides Debian, Arch is the only one I really enjoyed toying 
with. Haven't used Arch on serious production system, but it appears that 
other people do. Gentoo is nice (and keeps you busy/entertained) until it 
blows up on you.

Just my 0.02 as a long time FreeBSD user. The linux I used most was Debian but 
that was long ago before I landed at BSD.
