Slackware 11.0 contains the 2.4.33.3 Linux kernel (default), 2.6.17.13 in /extra and 2.6.18 in the /testing directory. This Slackware version is by far the most cutting edge ever released, it includes KDE version 3.5.4 (including the Amarok media player), XFCE 4.2.3.2, the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, plus SeaMonkey 1.0.5 (replacing the Mozilla suite). It also includes glibc-2.3.6, gcc-3.4.6, X11R6.9.0 from X.Org, and more.

From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux distribution for UNIX veterans
I dare to differ. PHP is still not fixed [1], no features like Stack Smashing Protection, ASLR, PIE enabled network servers, etc. What is more, security updates are released really late [2]. If you want secure system, there are better choices...
Anyway, have a nice day
