"Slackware is one of the oldest (arguably *the* oldest) Linux distributions still around today. It is the pet project of one Patrick Volkerding who, love him or hate him, has ruled his distribution with an iron fist since the beginning. This is fine if you agree with his choices, but like all dictators, Patrick doesn't always make decisions based on the good of the populace, but rather sheer unmitigated ego. Here is my experience with his latest iteration, Slackware 11." More here.

Everyone has an opinion, and even if I don't agree with him
Everyone is welcome to have their opinion, but it is sad to see OSnews publicize articles that stoop down to personal attacks..
Slackware is obviously not for a newbie, and people who have learnt their way thru Slackware will vouch for its quality and stability.
Pat was clear that he was doing a last 2.4 release to support users who are still using it on their production servers
It is sad to see OSnews link to a useless rant posting on one of the finest linux distros
