Jim,
1. It stays far back from the bleeding edges.
2. It is suitable for modern and older systems.
3. You can install just as much as you want or need; highly customizable.
4. Great support on mail lists. linuxquestions.org, and elsewhere.
5. A super group of developers/supporters who provide Slackware packages
for just about anything not included in the base distribution. Look
at www.slackbuilds.org.
6. More stable than the ground on which we live.
7. Patches when needed to remove vulnerabilities.
8. Distribution upgrades every now and then, not on a fixed schedule.
9. One of the original linux distributions and still going strong.
Rich
