I can't say I know Slackware or its quality-control measures, so could you please answer some questions for me? What sort of quality-control measures does Slackware have? Where do I access their cvs tree? Where do I access their problem reports? Where do I subscribe to get every commit message? How long are their code freezes? How many committers do they have? What mechanism creates their releases? Where do I get release-candidates? (I apologize if that sounds argumentative, it really isn't. It just addresses some of the things that I do know about FreeBSD with regards to quality control, and what I don't know about Slackware in order to answer your question.)
