Discovered Slackware 3.0 in 1996. Dual booted till 2001 till I blew away partition type 0x0b. Life's been pretty good since then.
You do look at where the train's going from time to time, but you do not have to get on it.
I find it intriguing why the word of any person, even the Red Hat CEO, should influence anyone. You are a thinking individual. Evaluate your choices, ad use what works for you. Personally, Linux works for me, and I don't envision shifting away anytime soon.
As I commented on the current poll, everyone needs a good laugh once in a while.

1)It ships with loadlin (and LILO too!!!) 2)Its got the shadow password suite 3)Its got Openlook 4)tgzs can be uninstalled using pkgtool 5)rpm2tgz and glibc allow Redhat binaries to work under Slackware 6)tgzs are smaller than rpms and a lot of software on the net is still available only as tgz. One doesnt have to wait for the rmps to come out.
