I used slackware for years. Slackware involves more manual work than learning.

That was my experience too: it did teach me a few things during the course of all that manual work, but once the learning's been done, the manual work remains, and given that computers are really meant to automate boring repetitive tasks, you gradually layer on more and more of your own automation (wonky hacked together package management and build systems and so on) that in the end you wind up thinking "hmm...portage does all this and more, better".

It was my first distro so I'll always have a soft spot for Slackware...but these forums are much friendlier and more helpful than the Slackware community, in my experience at least.
