Haven't actually made it out to one of the meetings yet but I keep
putting it on my calendar.

I just wanted to pipe in about slackware not having a decent package
management system. Personally I use slapt-get and swaret to augment
the 'packagers' that come with slackware. Makes installing and
removing packages and updating to new version releases a snap.

Personally I use gentoo on my desktops and slack/gentoo/debian/openbsd
on my servers.

If you are (re)learning your skills for use in the mainstream coporate
linux world I would stick with RH or SUSE. Current issues with SUSE
not withstanding.
