That's an interesting position/observation given that RHEL, SLES, and CentOS
(RHEL derivative) have the largest datacenter footprint in the US by far.
Across both oceans, mainly Europe and South America, SuSE rules pretty much
everything, from what I've read.

All the numbers I've seen show Slackware and Gentoo at the very bottom of the
charts, almost zero penetration.  Debian has far more datacenter penetration
than either of these.
