My husband hooked me up on Slackware almost three months ago (he used to run Slackware in the '90s). While I use a large range of OSes on a daily basis, when I am under Linux I now prefer to use Slackware. This is my mini-article with thoughts on Slackware 9.1 after using it for three months on and off. Ten screenshots are included.

What does a linux newbie do when they boot their slackware machine for the first time and they get a CLI prompt. I'll tell you what they do, they do a format and install Fedora or Mandrake.
Slackware was the first distro I ever tried out (it was in '96) and it has been my #1 choice since then, but I agree that it certainly isn't too newbie-friendly a distribution. But then again, it doesn't intend to be one, either.
I for one am glad that Slackware has been kept a KISS compliant, no-complicated-shit-included distro all this time.
