Well, its over. I've run out of the time to continue trying Slackware 12.0 as I have quite a bit to do for the rest of June. Anyway, here's my conclusion.
Slack is very, very stable, and ran without any OS related issues. Some KDE software had problems later in my experience, but I usually fixed that with alternative software or bugging my friend for advice. I wish I had tried KDE 4, but there simply was no time to configure it (or download it for that matter). Configuring Compiz-Fusion was a breeze, and I really enjoyed the desktop cube and using multiple desktops. Windoze has taught me how truly crippling having one desktop is.
Pros: Stable, I love the quotes in the Konsole, KDE is great (but I still like Gnome better), gslapt and slapt-get integrate well to give Slackware repository like functions, quick boot and shutdown time, the ability to fight the corporate machine =P.
Cons: Still waiting for KDE 4 to be bundled, but I guess that may ruin the stability, setting up my internet connection was incredibly annoying (and my friend had the same problem too with Slack!) but fixable, not really noob friendly.
Overall: I liked Slackware 12.0, and would like to try Slack 13 when it comes out (hopefully with KDE 4!).
Send me ideas for new distributions to try! (or even a BSD)
Fin.
