I think that I will recommend Void Linux to you.

The reasons are as follows :
1. rolling r= elease as Gentoo and Arch.
2. use runit as init system.
3. Its package manager, xbps, is easy and quick to install/update/remove s= oftware.

Arch Linux is similar. Just imagine you have "emerge", except the= re's
only binary packages. When you install it initially, you're left on the=
command line with nothing installed except base packages, much like Gentoo.=

How close is Slackware to that description?
 [...]

I'd say not close at all. Slackware uses pretty outdated software and i= s not rolling release.

Arch Linux on the other hand, like Gentoo, does not have releases. You inst= all it once and the upgrades are pretty much identical to Gentoo.
