    I used slackware from 9.0 till 10.2. Now I use Fedora Core 5 and I like it. For me, it's just as solid, but it has better hardware support and it was teh only real option for me when I went 64bit. Not to mention that I can get the latest software fairly quickly. With mainstream distros getting better and better over time (I used to HATE rpms) I wonder how much longer hobby distros will hang around. Perhaps for server stuff Slack is great, but for desktops, Fedora/SUSE are probably the way to go.
