Meanwhile, Slackware sends me an email from their security list when something needs to be upgraded.
Otherwise, I don't really have to interact with their website.
Slackware is so stable I had one instance running at a client's site for 10 years. Yes, I know, not the best practice, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Every time, I see a post about Arch, I sigh. Why fiddle when you can have rock solid stability?
Please explain the attraction to an old man ... ?
