We also find that Slack runs well on old hardware... faster than most of the
Debian variants at least. However if you want 'fast' give Damn Small Linux
a try. Or try Slack without KDE... use Ice instead.

On modern hardware I don't see any difference in Deb., Slack, SUSE, or
PCLinuxOS in speed on the desktop. We use Kanotix on our desktops because
of the package management system. Lots of Slackware people hate the
dep-check system of Debian, but we've never had a problem with apt-get...
but we only keep a few packages current... OpenOffice, KDE (and all it's
utils), and the GIMP.
