Slackware, Slax 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'm not sure if you realize just how easy to use gentoo is.

i want apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin for example
emerge apache php mysql phpmyadmin and all cross dependencies are solved, so that nothing is installed twice. i don't have to go download anything, it gets downloaded for me. etc etc.

i can't see the advantage to having to hunt for packages on webpages, and "make sure" i get all the dependencies.
