My personal list:

• Slackware for workstations.

• Slackware for general lowest common denominator Linux stuff.

• Slackware when I need Linux, the packages will work, and don't need commercial software.

• Slackware for everything I can.

• Slackware when I feel like messing around with something new.

You forgot to mention Hetzner.

It is too early still.

EDIT2:
Although I like the smell of Hetzner in the morning.

I believe that you use Slackware current, but I'm on 14.2, and it would be nice for them to make a new stable release soon!

Correct.

While I agree I also trust Pat.
It's ready when it's ready.
The more time it takes the better it might be.
Maybe...

You'd have to. Doesn't a slack package just tar -xvpf -C / ?
