Nice, that sounds good mate.
I've never tried Slackware properly, but it sounds like a one of the best and most solid linux distros out there!
AncientWisdom uses it too...
In my opinion it is. I was considering switching to FreeBSD, but I wasn't enthusiastic about running GNU/Linux applications through a compatibility layer or in a virtual machine. Slackware is the GNU/Linux distro that comes the closest to the Unix philosophy or a BSD experience, that's why I picked it.
I actually meet a surprising amount of Slackware users on IRC. There have been some issues going on with bsdforall host, it downgraded itself from 7.4 to 7.3 openBSD, WTF lol
so forum is a bit unstable at the moment
yeah nice, I should try it someday, I think that will be my next pick to test

Originally based on Softlanding Linux System (SLS), Slackware has been the basis for many other Linux distributions, most notably the first versions of SUSE Linux distributions, and is the oldest distribution that is still maintained.Slackware aims for design stability and simplicity and to be the most "Unix-like" […]"
