I'd recommend Slackware or Gentoo. I'd not recommend any distro based on RedHat.

I heard slackware is IKEA of operating system, that is very much do it yourself.
It is. Be prepaired to read a lot of man pages and HOWTO:s.

Debian is nice too
I haven't tried it, but I've only heard good stuff about it so if I tried it I'd probably recommend it.

* After some time trying to customize a redhat distro, it was like using a windows machine : The more you changed, the worse it got. I don't have that problem with the other distros.
* RedHat distros have their own tools for everything, so you learn basically nothing about linux - once you learn redhat, you're stuck with redhat.
* What's up with all these "linux books" with a lot of extremely redhat specific stuff? If it's a redhat book, then say it's a book about redhat, not a book about linux.
* Once you start getting used to the tools in redhat and want to change anything there isn't a tool available for, you are in hell because you have no idea what you are supposed to do, and definitely no idea how.
* Redhat have released unstable kernel versions in their full release packages. I don't know if they still do it, but it's definitely one of the reasons I really really dislike them.
There are more reasons, but it was a long time ago I used redhat so I've happily forgotten about them I think
