Useless may be a bit strong. But I definitely could not
justify recommending slink for a new install over another
distribution at my place of work. Admittedly, they are conservative,
and prefer CD installs over network installs, but there you have it.

I can't speak for others, but I have come to place a certain
reliance on what Debial labels stable. I certainly hope I am not
going to be dissapointed. A major factor is also that stable releases
tend to have cheap CD's available.
