Well, last time I looked, slackware had *no* real upgradability (and that
situation persists if the previous tirade against RPM format are any guide)

It's not just my opinion, of course.  The www.ssc.com site has similar
comments comparing the distributions.  There was also some commentary around
when I bough my distribution about Slackware, and how most users seem to
choose Debian or RedHat these days.  

Of course, RedHat and Debian are not the only players, Caldera does a
distribution, there are lots of distributions.  I still feel that buying a
version of slackware which at last report was last frozen at about april last
year as part of a book deal is selling yourself short a bit.
