I've been using SlackWare for years and it's great. It works for servers and for personal use. Just my 2¢.
Agreed, you dont want to try compiling gentoo from a stage one install on a pentium 800 and a dialup connection. But any decently fast machine and cable/dsl connection will be just fine. And if you dont want to wait for it to compile, do a stage two or three install.
