distros

I work as a programmer and I need a distribution which comes with C/C++, Java, assembler, Pascal(not necessarily). Also the distribution should work fast. Until now I have tried RedHat 8.0, 9.0 Fedora, Mandrake 9.1 but I didn't like any of them so at this time I have a Slackware 9.1 system but a friend of mine recommended me SuSe 9. I want to ask you which distribution do you think is suited for programming.

Thanks!

They all pretty much use the same tools for programming. If you like your current setup with Slackware there is no good reason to switch to Suse. Any linux distribution better have a gcc package, and you can always get the Sun or Blackdown SDK for java and NASM for asm. So long as you have those things you can program in C/C++, Java, and assembler.
