which of these 3 distros.
 

What is te best distro of this 3, Arch, Debian or Slackware for use on a laptop with xfce, Has the best documantation, Is fastest. And which of them do you like most?

Just try them all and see which one you like best. That's all that matters.

The thing is that i like them all very good, been used them for 6 months each. so i cant deside, therefore i would like to know what you prefer?

I prefer Slackware, but any one of them should be good.

IMHO, Debian stable and/or testing would be the easiest to maintain of the three.

I doubt you will see much difference regarding speed between these distros.
I would prefer Slackware, but I am biased.

Thanks for the reply, Slackware is the distro I basically due to like best .. but there is one thing that keeps me away, My laptop gets really hot.

And this is slackware-specific ? If so, post the issue with details in another thread and maybe it can be solved.

I would recommend Arch, but I'm biased. :)

It's very minimal but still has a dependency-handling package manager.

I'd go with Arch or Debian netinstall. I like automatic dependency resolution. And those do happen to be my favorite 2 OS's.

Been trying Debian the last 24 hours, slackware the last week and Arch the last 6 months..

And my conclution is.. Arch.. Really like it for it speed and package manager.. Like Debian for is`s Speed And slackware just because it`s slackware! Even slackware is the slowest of them..

Any benchmarks made or just a feeling?

Yeah, if you have any benchmarks I'd like to see them. ;)
