I read a few different reviews at distrowatch and decided to go with
Slackware.  I forgot to add, in my original email, that I also prefer
to manage things by hand.

I'll concur that gentoo is very flexible, but is still structured with
stable, testing, and unstable branches for each arch.  However gentoo
seems to be easier to track down difficult bugs mainly because of how
much control you have over what packages are installed (and how they are
installed) on your system.  The transparency and flexibility of the
distro is what keeps me with gentoo despite of sometimes long compile
times although that can be much helped with caching.  It always amazes
me how easy of a distro gentoo is to use despite it's flexibility.
