LFS of course would be the fastest, most stable, and well setup distro you could run, probably a Gentoo not far behind, and on those heels would be Slack.

As kind of how MartBrooks stated, you make it secure. That is up to the administer of the box. Stable, they all run basically the same kernel, the heart of the OS and last I heard Linux is pretty stable. Fast again depends on you the administer, how you have your box running, what services your using, hardware plays a role too. These types of questions will not get you direct answers, just opinions of people's favorites most of the time.
To me any choice is a good choice, its just how you customize and build your OS on your system to your needs, also making it secure while your doing it..

IMO, Slackware is the most stable, though Debian stable might be almost as stable, and perhaps more secure because it's so easy to apt-get updates. I've heard good things about Gentoo, but I doubt that a bleeding edge distro would be quite as stable as Slack or Debian.

I see that alot of U all choose Slackware. In slackware...how we want to mantain it's secure (I mean from the software bug ) like in debian U can just apt-get to solve the software bug. But how about in Slackware. TQ

yup, distributions section

yellowdog, if you have ppc hardware, i'ts a REDHAT based distribution for ppc macs

To answer the question of how to keep Slackware up to date with security patches....

1. Sign up for the Slackware security mailing list, to get announcements whenever an updated package is available.

2. go to ftp.slackware.com, look in the patches directory of your distro version. That's where security updates are kept. download the ones you don't have.

3. upgradepkg command will install the update.

Go with Debian, Slackware is definetly NOT worth the time and effort. I congratulate you if you can even make it start!!!

Well then, I believe we have a Slackhater, or otherwise known as a non-slacker. Debian is a good suggestion, but I would think maybe something along the lines of a *BSD should have been suggested by now.

Cool

I think Slack8.1 with Reiser FS rules!

I seem to be reading trends here lately

Rubbish.
