Slackware does work on Intel's Xeon, why it wouldn't?
Anyway, there are no other Slackware isos

what you see is what you get
This is from an online server working full-time on Slackware 10.2 since almost a year ago

Thanks I though I had to download another type of Iso like, for Sparc or other cause as far as I know i386 and i686 are for normal Pentium box, the one everybody use at home. But since this Intel Xeon with 7 HD will work as a web server Apache/Tomcat/firewall/Squid with Openbravo I though I need other kind of iso for another architecture, But I will try with slack i386 and see
