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 suggest you be careful how you reply. You are very unfair in your reply, and I don't take this.
This article is not a plug for Slackware, if you actually READ the damn article you will see that it ties with Arch.
The reason why I write about Arch or Slackware, is because I LIKE THEM better than mdk/suse/rh/fedora/debian. They are NOT the easiest to get by (again, if you read the article you would have read about the "week of pain" that users would go through if they install any of the two), but AFTER that week of pain, these distros DELIVER better than the well known distros who have patched everything to hell creating NEW bugs and slowness.
So, if you don't agree, that's fine. But don't reply in such a manner without understand first what I am writing exactly, because I really don't like it.
