Hi.
Slackware would be a white hat with (just some) black stripes.

No light or dark side. Just a good set of tools that could either do good or evil, save a life or destroy it: it is up to you to decide what to do with it.
A gun can be used to protect your family. It could also be used to murder.
A car could be used to save lives (e.g. taking someone to the hospital). It could also be used to run over an innocent baby girl and take her life.
Basically anything can be used either way. It is up to the user to decide what to do with the tools he (or she) has at hand.
Now Slackware can be (and IMHO, maybe more easily than other distros), used for
anything. Slackware has no focus on easiness or certification or political agenda. It is, in some way more
scientific than most other distros because it is agnostic and focus on being a platform for
anything you want it to do.
Quoting a wiser man:
have fun!
