was enough? Also, I don't want -mfloat-abi=hard
I have otherwise no interest in Raspbian. Only Slitaz.
IMHO Raspbian is the best option for the Raspberry Pi.

3. Distro Super Test – Raspberry Pi Edition

We pit six Raspberry Pi operating systems against one another to find out which one is the king of the tiny computer distros
[..]
Raspbian
Your first port of call to get a Raspberry Pi going
[..]
Overall Score
9/10
Raspbian is a fantastic tool for teaching, general coding and all manner of home- grown projects. Definitely the best distro for beginners
[..]
SliTaz 4
A tiny distro supposedly for use on desktop and on server
[..]
Overall Score
4/10
SliTaz has a place as a very fast web server, but that is unfortunately all it can do without serious work
[..]
And the winner is…
Raspbian
A lot of these distros seemed to go back and forth between being as lightweight or as customisable as possible, or trying to offer a full desktop experience on the Pi. Raspbian goes the extra mile and not only supplies a great desktop experience, but is also heavily tied into the Raspberry Pi community. With access to learning modules and the Pi Store, it’s excellent for teaching computing, as well as for using in a headless state for a quick and easy-to-use server.4. RPi Distributions

Can I put Debian on my Rasberry Pi?
Yes.
Debian armel will work, but will not make best use of the floating point hardware. Debian armhf will not work (see below).
If you know you need hardfloat support, your best bet is to use Raspbian - which is (mostly) Debian armhf rebuilt by members of Debian for the RPi's ARMv6+VFP2 ARM variant.
[..]
The CPU in the Raspberry Pi implements the ARMv6 ISA (with VFP2) and is thus incompatible with the Debian armhf port baseline of ARMv7+VFP3 and ARM hardware-floating-point ports for other distributions, which all have the same baseline. It is compatible with Debian armel (armv4t, soft(emulated) FP), but floating-point tasks will be slow when running the Debian armel port.
