*shrug*  Depends on what you know.

I've got a personal beef with RH in that they change 'standard' software
(libpcap anyone?) and don't bother to mention it.  Never used Slack, but
some folks like it.

Personally, I'd point you at Gentoo.  It's the ultimate thing for a 'control
freak'.  You get to tweak all sorts of compile options from the initial
install and you can do some very cool things with ebuilds that automagically
compile in support for X, MySQL, PHP, etc. in each build you do.  And it's
already got ebuilds of Snort 2.0.1 and SGUIL (well sorta).
