To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

I agree.
Compiling from source has never failed to work for me in
slackware as all the packages are in the deafult location.
Also it's a distro you can customise heavily (not to the level of gentoo ofcourse) but way easier than redhat/mandrake.
Mandrake breaks for me everytime i try to do something manually.
