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.

This review is a nice reminder of the benefit of having "too many" distros: There really is something for just about everybody. You don't get this option with Windows.
Now, I'm not sure how to take the fact that Slackware 9.1 did not get compared with Windows XP like all the other distros do. I could take it as a "finally Eugenia has been fair to a distro" or I could take it as a "Eugenia is being unfair to Fedora/Redhat by not comparint it to XP!!!" Or I could just go watch Family guy right now.
