The parent has no relevance to this article. What does debian's survivability have anything to do with slackware's webserver going down and a new project based on slackware (of which there are many).
Besides, slackware has been around as long as Debian. Ian Murdoc tried to recruit Patrick Volkerding for the Debian project at its beginning, but Pat respectfully declined and went ahead with Slackware. I'll give you Debian's survivability, but Slackware is just as old with far less resources than Debian. To use seniority as leverage to dismiss slackware shows you know nothing. This is the wrong way to promote Debian, which is a wonderful project which proves itself without such tactics. Since you don't mention any of these features, you again prove you know nothing.
