For almost a week now, I've been using
Slackware 9.1 (RC-1 released
today), and I am having a blast. Slackware doesn't have more than 6-8% of the Linux market these days, but it used to be one of the most-used distros back in the day. Today, many think of Slackware as a true classic, a thought that is often accompanied by a feeling that Slackware is not a user-friendly or an uber-modern Linux distribution. There is some truth in that statement, but there is always the big "But". Read on for our very positive experience with Slackware 9.1-pre.
Update: In less than 24 hours since the RC-1, Slackware 9.1 RC-2
is out.
I have been running 9.1Beta for a while, and it runs really great! I bought the last few releases, last week I decided to take a subscription to support Patrick V. and Slackware Inc.
Happy Slacking :-)
