Thanks to you both Avi and Gary I've never actually used it been put off in the past by the Built-It-Yourself distros (is slackware in that category?), but now I have been certified i feel a little more tempted (nay confident) to try something, either like Slackware or Arch, just to test my knowledge and learn some more.
My next goals personal and professional development wise are LPIC-2, and the RedHat RHCT/RHCE route, plus a bit of MAMP on the side, so i really need Fedora or soem useful redhat derivative to play with, I just cant seem to get on with Gnome 3 tho. Though Gui is not that important for the RHCE type stuff its still a bit annoying learning something new, but like anything it will take time to understand and mature and get used to. The thing that would attract me to something like slackware or arch is the very fact that you can build it just how you want it, but I would most definately be out of my comfort zone as coming from ubuntu where "stuff just works" it will be a shocker I'm sure, but as you say a worthy one for all the internals learning and experience that type of system brings.
