It's the best. Enough said. :p
I've always wanted to use Slackware since I first started exploring Linux. I remember hearing something about it being an "unadulterated" Linux, or whatever, that it tried to be as plain GNU/Linux as possible. That appealed to me when I was unfamiliar with Linux, but I like it today because it makes the least amount of assumptions about how I want to run my system (out of all the distros I have used so far) and I'm extensively familiar with it. I wouldn't recommend it though, simply because I don't recommend distros, period. Try it; see if it works for you; move on if it doesn't. Works for me (and works well too), so I use it.
You don't recommend distros, but could you tell me what package management is like on Slackware. One of the huge reasons why I love arch is because the Package Manager, Pacman is just so awesome!
