The Arch Linux instructions are still wrong; they say that aufs3 is required but it isn't anymore. http://docs.docker.io/en/master/installation/archlinux/

Is the warning "This is a community contributed installation path. The only ‘official’ installation is using the Ubuntu installation path. This version may be out of date because it depends on some binaries to be updated and published." still true? Fedora also has this warning (and no instructions). The "Look for your favorite distro in our installation docs!" link does not give me up-to-date instructions for any of my favorite Linux distros. I can't even see where in that installation documentation it says how to install from source code on generic Linux. What am I missing? (Of course I can get the source code and build it, but I want the documentation to be great :-D)

You're right, the arch docs need some updating. Pushing that to the queue. Thanks!

Yay! You should have have a section on installing from source too. This is part of doing open-source well.

We explain how to setup a dev and build environment here: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/contributing/devenvironment/

I guess we could reference that it the install docs.
