Slackware for my Desktop.
Zenwalk for my laptop.

Nice quote from Slack book:

“There are many reasons why Slackware is Linux’s oldest living distribution. It does not try to emulate Windows, it tries to be as Unix-like as possible. It does not try to cover up processes with fancy, point-and-click GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). Instead, it puts users in control by letting them see exactly what’s going on. Its development is not rushed to meet deadlines-each version comes out when it is ready.

Slackware is for people who enjoy learning and tweaking their system to do exactly what they want. Slackware’s stability and simplicity are why people will continue to use it for years to come. Slackware currently enjoys a reputation as a solid server and a no-nonsense workstation. You can find Slackware desktops running nearly any window manager or desktop environment, or none at all. Slackware servers power businesses, acting in every capacity that a server can be used in. Slackware users are among the most satisfied Linux users. Of course, we’d say that. :^)”

And that basically sums up what I need for my unix system. Gentoo gave me that to a certain point. But along the way it got tedious, both net- and cpu-wise. It’s still a great distro though.

Still missing a few things (mplayer, among other things).
Using kde/xfce temporarily. I’ll finish tweaking flux probably some time next week, then get into those php/perl projects I’ve been thinking about for the whole year.
