I used Slackware for something like 13 years, and have been using Arch for maybe 2. If you'll allow me to post a link to my own stuff, I put together a blog entry about exactly this question: http://beej.us/blog/2009/12/arch-vs-slackware/ http://beej.us/blog/2009/12/arch-vs-slackware/ Both Slack and Arch are excellent, but not quite the same in their objectives. I run Arch on my netbook and desktop (with FVWM) and love it.
