      The oldest Linux distro that’s still maintained to this day.
      With an extreme focus on the KISS principle (simplicity in design) and stability.
      It basically still works the same way it did 30 years ago.

        With fewer floppy disks though.

          The repos are still divided into Disksets, though.

          No, unless stability is very little change.

            This is what Debian’s Stable name means: that, once released, the operating system remains relatively unchanging over time.

            That’s what it means… A dead distro is the most stable.

              but secure, that the sweet spot, stable enough but not sacrificing security

              People use OS’ for different things. As an admin I’d love to have an os that’s just there and never needs any attention. I’ll have to investigate if slackware fits the bill :)
