Slackware, Slax 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.

package management woes

i'm sorry, but if your package management isn't ... oh i don't know, modern, and doesn't autoresolve dependencies, i think there's a flaw in the design of your distro.

that brings me to: gentoo, and debian. if your distro is not based off of one of these two, it is either: duct-taped together (apm-rpm), not user friendly (yast), or just plain rpms (redhat)
