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".

There is no *recent* and *full* Mono-related packages for Slackware, so you will need to install all its related packages yourself. That includes the internationalization stuff, Cairo from CVS, Mono, GTK# and their in between libs as seen on mono-project.com. Then, you can install Tomboy. Overall, it's a 1-2 hour hassle I am afraid, but it does build fine.
Arch has Mono and GTK# on its /extra, but these are build with some missing libs, so I would recommend that even on Arch you build them yourself.
