You can use whatever Linux/FreeBSD/etc distribution you want that
serves your need. This is a free country.

Unix/Linux (in any distribution, SLackware, RedHat, etc) was designed
by programmers for programmers. But KDE, Gnome, etc are making it
better looking so that non-programmers can get attracted to it and
benefit from using a good and robust OS. (At least more robust than
the more expensive competition).
> what do you all think of my chose flavor.
You chosen flavor, Slackware, used to be the most popular distro.
If you want manual control and lean/mean distro, this is the right
choice. Whether you choose Slackware or RedHat you still need to spend
some time learning the system, and you'd find true happiness learning
the way (the hard way?) Slackware does it. Sometimes you get
frustrated using RedHat linuxconf, since you are not really sure
whther linuxconf has completed all the required steps to effect the
desired configuration changes, since linuxconf does not tell what
it is doing. If you have to do stuff manually, this is where
Evi Nemeth's "Unix System Admin Handbook" comes in handy.
If you want a distro that's truly easy to install, then use
FreeBSD. Nothing beats the ease of FreeBSD installation. OF course
using FreeBSD requires as much sacrifice as any Linux distro.
