CRUX inspired Judd Vinet to create Arch.
Judd Vinet built Arch from scratch, and then wrote pacman in C. Historically, Arch was sometimes humorously described simply as "Linux, with a nice package manager."

Except neither Debian nor Ubuntu is used as base for Arch.

It's more like grandma Crux and LFS had some quality time.
