    Thanks to everyone that has answered my questions. My linux requirements
    are pretty minimal compared to that of a desktop users. I pretty much just
    use apache, perl, php, exim, proftpd, mrtg, iptables for custom packetfilter
    for wireless networks and redirection rules for authentication. I would
    tend to be more security minded than most desktop users. Slackware is nice
    and all, and it will always have a place in my heart :) It was my first
    distro, starting about 7 years ago, I have used it in production
    environments for 5 years. But everyone keeps telling apt is where it is at.
    Currently I have 4 debian systems in my lab running billing software and
    radius servers. 4 FreeBSD servers in production, handful or so of LEAF
    routers and 7 Slackware machines running radius, DNS, Apache/PHP/Perl. Some
    people say the "testing" tree is alpha some say its stable as redhat, so
    which is it? Keep in mind, I don't run X, I just run linux based servers
    and packetfilters/firewalls. Thanks for all of the help.

    Sincerely,

    Jeremy Davis
