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.

Slackware is nice but it's a PITA to upgrade from distro to distro. With Debian, all I have to do is apt-get upgrade it. Slackware and others just encourage reformat and install. Not exactly enterprise ready.
Slackware is good for a power user desktop but not good on the server end.
