We are going to make a DBMS system for a client and I would like to host it on a Slackware system because in my experience, these are easy to deploy, maintain, and keep stable over long periods of time. However, I am concerned about support and I want our client to be able to count on others to fix/upgrade the system in the event that we are not around.
I think it would be to local Slackware fans' interest to maintain some sort of site, mailing list, group/association, or any other mechanism where they can refer their clients to one another for support. With some organization we (and our clients) can feel a lot more confident deploying solutions based on this efficient and effective distro.
To those with the battle experience, is it feasible to recommend someone experienced in Redhat to maintain a Slackware system? I have heard that you can get a Slackware guy to adapt to a Redhat system with little problem but that the converse is not true. I'm inclined to believe this but would like some more opinions on the matter.
