1.3.20 is your kernel version, not slackware revision.
You could be using anything from slackware 2.X to 3.0.
I tend to use slackware at the moment, simply because i've
used it since SLS (remember them ? :-) became way too
large and overwieldy and MCC didn't update very often.
`More' people seem to ftp slackware than redhat, but
redhat seems more `polished' nowadays and i will probably
be tempted to try a redhat install the next time i have to
put linux on a system. Of course if you happen to have an
alpha, you'll want to go redhat..

I don't know anyone who actually uses debian.
