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.

There are games on LinuxPackages.net. The rest of the games you might need to compile yourself but instead of doing a "make install" do a "checkinstall -S" instead.
This command, creates the Slackware package AND installs it for you. And then you are left with the .tgz package itself and you can share it with other Slackware users. That's another thing I like on Slackware, ease of creating your own packages to share!
