And Slackware too puts out a test release. Patrick writes in the changelog: "OK, we're going to call this Slackware 12.1-rc1, though there is still some more minor work to do." So there. Just so you know.

Actually, Xenix and AT&T Unix 3.2 for 386 and 3B2, back in the 80s, had more sophisticated package management, and reasonably good menu driven administration facilities. So maybe Slackware is more of a 70s style Unix-like distro.
I've got to agree with you.
I love Slackware's philosophy and for a long time Slackware was my favourite distro.
Recently ArchLinux has taken over on my Linux boxes. It has the same kind of "feel" as Slack but without a lot of the arsing about.
