Slackware don't update for the sake of updating..  It's only for good reason (i.e. stability/security).

Er what?  I don't understand your analogy.  
Ubuntu seems to have acquired the reputation of being almost as hardcore (+1 geek factor) as Debian, only shinier and with free media.  Otherwise it suffers from bad design, which anyone who has used a semi-decent stable OS like Slackware, or a commercial desktop OS like Fedora/SuSE would realise straight away.   
But Ubuntu is good for people who are new to Linux, and the LiveCD thing is cool, except that almost every other distro has it now too.
