Speaking from experience, Slackware is one of the best distros if you are going
to install lots of stuff from sources. Rpm- and deb-based distros inevitably,
sooner or later, tend to throw themselves lying on their backs and start to
whimper if you do that.
Lack of PAM support can be seen as a drawback, or, then again, not. Personally
I share Patrick Volkerding's (main developer of Slackware) opinion about PAM,
and as a result built my Gentoo system without PAM support.
