	You're always welcome to use any distro you like.  It's not about the
distro but about Linux.  While many have not had any problems with
Fedora there are some who have.  Just last week a long time, die hard
Slack user for many years switched to Fedora.  No big deal either way. 
In my personal opinion, though, I wouldn't run a data center on
Slackware.  There's just to much missing from it.  I know it can do the
job just fine but the maintenance of a Slack box is astronomical
compared to any of the other distros.  You would probably be better
served to look into the RHEL clones like White Box or Tao or CentOS-3.

	So far I've found the quality of packages in FC1 to be a bit better
than RH 9, but YMMV.
