Why Porteus and not another linux?

I am so mixed up about this. The good thing is that i have persistence with port
which many of the others don't give me in frugal install
One bad thing with Porteus out of the box is that Kplayer lacks codex for vmw
and for some mp4 too. apart from that it seems to work very good.
another issue is that Slax seems to not be a supported way to do Linux.
On LinuxQuestions the Slackware devs did not want to see it even as
something them want to touch.
To a noob that is not a good sign. Looks too much like distro war or something.
