My husband hooked me up on Slackware almost three months ago (he used to run Slackware in the '90s). While I use a large range of OSes on a daily basis, when I am under Linux I now prefer to use Slackware. This is my mini-article with thoughts on Slackware 9.1 after using it for three months on and off. Ten screenshots are included.

I'm not sure if you realize just how easy to use gentoo is.
, Slackware (swaret & co.) and some other distros (Arch, etc.).
Oh, please. Why is it that everytime someone posts an article about !Gentoo distro, some Gentoo user has to come and shout something along the lines of "...but Gentoo does it better"
Eugenia hasn't even mentioned Gentoo in the whole damn article.
I don't have anything against Gentoo, I've onced tried to install it (well, the only problem was that I became seriously bored after 2 days of compiling and aborted the install, and GRP kind of beats the purpose of a completely source based distro for me). Gentoo may be a perfect distro for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that Gentoo users have to actually advertise it in every chance possible.
Also your example "i want apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin for example" doesn't really show anything special compared to many other distros. You have the same functionality in Debian (apt-get), various rpm based distros (yum / urpmi / a strange hack called 'apt-rpm'
