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.
Actually, I have succesfully used Swaret to upgrade Slackware to a new version by editing a single line in Swaret config file and two commands. Not quite my idea of a "PITA".
If you're looking for a real PITA with Slackware, try and configure it to properly support Japanese input.
