Any show stoppers you have run into?

No showstoppers, but if you just want a non-GUI installation, go with Slack.
Ubuntu is a good distro, but it is catering to the GUI oriented users.
I recommend the Ubuntu variations (Ubuntu = Gnome based desktop, Kubuntu = KDE based desktop, Xubuntu = Xfce based desktop environment and Edubuntu = Ubuntu with a schoolastic view) to people who aren't that familar with neither Linux nor command-line environments.
But you hardly fall into that category, so go with Slack if you are most familar with that.
If you would like an easier packagemanagement system for when you don't want to untar/configure/compile/bitch about dependency hell, then go with a straight Debian Etch installation.
