Ah yes. Debian was on my mind. The problem with Debian is, I don't have the patience to download those CDs right now. I've heard that the first couple can be enough, but I'm not sure that the XFCE packages would be available on the first two CDs.. I'll look that up..

As for Slackware, I've wanted to try out Arch Linux for a while. AFAIK, it's Slackware with a good package manager, Pacman. Hmmm. Choices are becoming a problem here :P
