Thisa is so far off topic its a joke...but....on servers, Slackware.

Packages are identical or close as identical to the real source releases.
Easy to upgrade between distros with slapt-get (so much so you can skip 
many in-the-middle releases).
Stable, doesnt put out a release every 3 months, but keeps current.
Support, is several years (around 5+, which is the same for RHES)
Never found a bit of hardware that it wont work with yet.
2 CD install of everything, not 5.

If you want GUI... go use winblow$... But slackware does come with KDE if 
you are one of those types that just must have a GUI.
