Don't know anything about Arch, it's far too "new" for me to care about 
it.

Debian, yes... /etc/network.

Solaris too... /etc/blah/dee/blah/dee/blah...

ALL of which seem quite unnecessary.  Or at least could have been 
standardized and EVERYONE do the same tango... but Unix doesn't work 
that way...

Playing nicely in the sandbox is not a strong point of Linux/Unix 
devs... not between distros and CERTAINLY not with commercial Unix flavors.

Thus, the mess from the 1970's (long before I cared about computers or 
computing) continues...

(Trust me, I know Windows internals are no better... and Mac inherits a 
bunch of Unix-isms and then expands on them, making that even worse. 
Just kinda getting tired of it, is all... want an amazing computer 
world?  EVERYONE... Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac... maybe some 
others... all agree on ONE place to put the HOSTS file.  That's a start. 
  Symlink to it if you have to... that's fine... all the major OS's have 
something capable of doing the equivalent of a symlink...)
