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.

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)
