As time went by, Slackware served me well... but it was a few years back,
during the time when I was still using Windows on the desktop, and I
didn't keep my server as clean as I should have. I'd want to upgrade
stuff, and I'd end up building it by hand, so I'd end up with a system
half filled with Slackware packages and half filled with stuff I've
hand-compiled.

After I got a new job as a software engineer, I tried Slackware on the
desktop, but after a month or so I gave Gentoo my first try ever (at
home). I loved it so much that I immediately moved my work desktop over,
and when it came time to set up a cluster at work, Gentoo was the
choice...
