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 first tried mdk. easy install.. sluggish performance.. annoying email..constantly. Than Redhat.. a little smoother.. but rpm hell. than debian.. it didnt like my vid setup. than wasted 3 days attempting to install gentoo.. sorry.. i have a life. Than slack 9.0 and 9.1.. Freeking Unbelievable. the ncurses installer was as smooth and fast as any of the glitzy graphic installers. the only things i needed to config manually were my wheelmouse (imps2 ZAxis mapping 4,5) and my initial partitioning.OOPS.. forgot.. i did also need to install the hpijs driver and diddle CUPS.. for about 5 minutes. People dont seem to get the simplicity and beauty of source based distros. They just work better. My slack+dropline desktop is as sweet as anything out there.. quick and responsive as well.. thanks eugenia.. more people should report on this elder statesman of linux distros.
