Slackware only. But I have had Zenwalk and Vector installed in the past, and recently tried Salix in VirtualBox.

I use a stock Slackware system, but if I need some software that's already being provided by one of the derivatives (usually Salix or Zenwalk) I'll grab the slackbuild from their repos and compile it myself. That way I get the best of both worlds: a stable, well-supported, constantly-updated distribution while not missing out on software that I want/need.

Slackware only at the moment (and antiX). I' ve tried Zenwalk for some time, but at the end it was not meant to be.

I use Slackware and Slackware64. It has been a few years since I last booted from a Slax CD. I did take a script from VectorLinux last year. But a derivative installed and in use? Que?
The lack of a Slackware only option is a serious omission.

PS - This is starting to look like a subscriber list.
