Every distro I've tried has something that annoys me about it too. And this is why I keep coming back to Slackware: it's the distro that annoys me the least. It's also Linux in its rawest and least dilute form, a natural step up from LFS: you can edit config files and use standard Unix commands confident in the knowledge that the package system and distro tools won't clobber anything you don't expressly tell them to.
