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.

slackware has a mean newsgroup

If you ask a question in alt.os.linux.slackware you will get attacked by the 'regulars' there - they hang around and wait to attack beginners. If somebody else once asked your same question (anywhere), you will be attacked for being lazy, dumb, and a timewaster. They will also try to get your ISP account cancelled if you say anything back.

Don't believe me - TRY IT. Don't say you weren't warned. They particularly like to try to get people's account cancelled who have cable modems.
