Looking through Distrowatch I came across a distro I had never heard about before. It's called Frugalware and looks to be a pretty good distribution along the lines of Slackware

Seems very similar to Arch, same base and same package manager :S
Some interesting advantages:
* GUI based installed
* Installs a desktop automatically
But I am not sure these are worth the lack of Arch's support (at least for me), although looking at it they do seem to be keeping their packages up-to-date.
If it is of interest then I also suggest looking at Chakra, an Arch fork focused around KDE with some interesting ideas.
Might give it a try sometime in a vm see what it is like. -
I personally don't care for full on graphical installers, I don't care for command-line installers (like Gentoo used to be) either. I like the text-mode of the anaconda installer, or the old ubuntu alternate installer. I like installer that use CFDISK...
Frugallware started as a slackware fork, it does use a fork of the packman package managerComment
