   This.   
      
   As well as keep it updated, something we can;t relaly say about   
   slackwares stable.   
      
      
   Thsat said, I doubt the OP was in this group, and it just got tagged on,   
   they're probably in anon-server group. But if they are, they are better   
   served by checking linuxquestions, Jeremy used to run (dont recall seeing   
   its call in past year or so and ive not gone looking admittedly) a distro   
   and feature-use survey every year, that way you get relatively unbiased   
   data, as against distrowatches pure bias of one-man-decides and   
   sponsorship swayed "data", DW was good  and well intentioned when it   
   first kicked off, but like everything, personal bias and greed take over.
