Since its first beta release in April of 1993, the Slackware Linux Project has aimed at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out there. Slackware complies with the published Linux standards, such as the Linux File System Standard. We have always considered simplicity and stability paramount, and as a result Slackware has become one of the most popular, stable, and friendly distributions available.

I've been using Slackware since 1995. While the release cycle is slow and packages need to generally be built, it is by far the most stable version for a server and doesn't make any assumptions about how you want to use the system.
