Unless you are having a problem with what you are running, I would
stay where you are (and would say that about most other
distributions, as well).

I regard Slackware as the right answer for people who want to do
aggressive system admin, and redhat or debian as better for people
who want to work more with running apps under the o/s and are
willing to do it the way the distribution is intended to work.

Every time you change you hit things which used to be easy and are
now not (as in the original post).
