Hey everyone,
Now, I know there's been a few posts in the past asking what the best distribution, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want this thread to focus on specific needs the user is looking for and which distribution that fits those needs.

To start, I've used Suse, Fedora, Mandriva, Gentoo, Debian, *buntu but for the past year and a half, I've been favoring ArchLinux. I love it's speed, it's customizability, and flexibility. Even more than that, I love it's package management system and the fact that the whole system is a rolling release system.

Now, I'm in the process of cleaning my laptop, and I want something a little more generalized with actual administrative tools. If someone knows of any distribution that I should try, I'd love to hear from ya.

Thanks in advance.

If you like Arch, I think you might also be interested in Slackware. I am testing both on my new laptop. Slackware has some annoyances and Arch has the slickest package manager anywhere.
As far as the availability of help and support, Slackware probably has the edge.
