Is Slackware really that bad?  I have installed it and prefer its simplicity over Redhat.  I don't have to learn a complex runlevel scheme and I never get dependency problems from installing something on my own instead of through a package manager(rpm).  I have had a great experience with Slackware.  I have only tried RedHat and Slackware and Mandrake but it has been a while on Mandrake and I never could finish the install.  I don't have any problems recomending Slackware.
