    Slackware is stable with no good package management system, I've always had problems with slapt-get, I really think the idea of emerde sounds great but I don't see myself trying a package management system with merde in the title!

    Debian is extremely stable, unless you use the unstable branch, which a few months ago ****ed me up; however, I really dug testing

    Gentoo has great package management; however, its stability is entirely up to the user, you can mess it up in a hurry, or keep it perfect forever

    OpenBSD--while not a distro but a flavor--has only had one hole found in its default install in 8yrs, compare that to any other distro or flavor, and is based entirely on security and integrity...it also has a great package management system...

    Both gentoo and OpenBSD are truly joys to work with...

    Slapt-get has always worked great for me. I tried Emerde with Slackware 10.0 and it did indeed f@#k up my box.

    I really like OpenBSD too.
    Plus it's got that really cool pufferfish logo.

    however gentoo is also the easiest to fix if it is all borked up

    I agree one hundred percent; however, it took me some time and alot of work to figure out just how to fix it; although, now I know, and knowing's half the battle...
