FreeBSD Vs Slackware or ArchLinux

As you can see, you might as well have said "What god should I follow?" This is a religious war... there is no right answer. You have to pick what works for you.

I've been a Slackware user since the early 90s. As other distros came out I always found myself going back to Slack. Its simple, to the point, does what I want it to and nothign more. However, I have been using Gentoo more and more and am beginning to find that its clean and simple like Slackware but has a real package management system (sorry, but pkgtool doesnt cut it).

I have become enchanted with gentoo myself.. none of the bullshit ya don't need, and emerge 0wns. True.. it may take you a fucking week to get it how you want it, (or compile the damn thing!), but if you have the spare time to screw around with it the effort pays off.

I have been using Slackware for about 4 years now, and I have also allways gone back to Slackware after I have tried other distros. Do you recommend me to try Gentoo? Is it much different except pkgtool? Has Gentoo the same simplicity as Slackware?

I would have chosen Slackware, but thats only because I use it and it's simply the only one for me. :

As a matter of fact, yes, I am booted into Windows XP right now. Your point?

If you want to play 'let's see who's got the bigger OS pee-pee', I can give you a rundown of what I'm running here if you really want.

They all suck. Under no circumstances should you use any of them.

Stick some wires and chips and whatnot in a jar of mayonnaise and use that. It's also unhackable and makes a tasty sandwich filling.
