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.

The first Linux distro i tried was some redhat 6 or 7, i don't really know, it came with a pc-zine i bought. Then, i used some more RHs, some mandrakes, some freebsds, debian... i guess that's it. Then i found slackware. Slackware is really the distro that's making me leave windows once and for all. I was still a complete newb when i first tried it (i couldn't even install gentoo) and still am, but i'm learning more everyday, solving problems and tweaking things on slackware, and i love it, even those problems, i love them! don't ask me why, but i do, it just makes me learn and move and read, it rules.
btw, i liked fbsd and debian too, i'd even consider using freebsd on a daily basis, but it is still not that newb-friendly for me.
the point is, i was a newb and i stuck with it. now i love it, even though my mouse wheel doesn't work under gnome :-)
