... because after running bw64 on a 480+ server + desktop cluster on 3 continents, one did not have a single glitch in 296 days of continuous operations. No other Distro has ever benchmarked that well. (Well, maybe BSD but with limitations.)

… Because it's easy to multi-lib.
Makes for a good media box.
Good for a samba server.
Excellent for a desktop.
Comes with an excellent version of KDE4.
Everything just works. ..

...Because it was the only PURE 64 bit distro I could find back in 2006, plus... was based on Slackware.
Why using it till now? Because it is rock solid, I double what twisted said about the multilib and the KDE4 (awwwww) and because I like helping the distro.

...because after my system crashed (the graphic card was seriously damaged and other hardware was damaged too), which made me to change the mother board, the graphic card, the memory and the the processor as well, when I finally succeeded in starting the brand new machine BW64-13 was the only system which recognized EVERYTHING without any problem at all! Windows Vista, in another partition of the same HD...well, a complete failure and I had to reinstall it...No surprise at all

I agree entirely with Kenjiro - BW is roch solid. Also I am keen on Slackware, of course
