if you know the basics of installing linux, it's really not that hard to install. If you know how to edit a few basic config files, the installer is actually ideal. My beef with arch, is that it's not necessarily the best distro to learn on, because they strip a lot of help files out of the distro. No apropos entries ( i imagine you could put these on later, but I'm not online at home) and no info's.
