Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

Slackware has a package manager ?

Well, I higly doubt that Slackaware + swaret are better than Arch +pacman.

I think that Eugenia hasn't tried to do a complete upgrade from slack 9.1 to slackware current and see how its system will work later.


Arch' fault is that are still a young distro trying to establish their phiolosophy, mainly to their community which provides new ideas for arch every day.

Slackware doesn't do that as it has a "dictator" that provides what is to be done with Slackware. I wonder what slackware becomes if Pat wants to quit.


Just my experience.
