Slackware is the most stable GNU/Linux distribution. It is highly used to run high availability websites, databases and other network services. However, it can be easily configured to run as a “home environment”, so, you can use it to chat, browse Internet, manage budget and so on.

Slackware has become more user friendly, so, you’ll find that is easy to set up it.
