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".

What this supposed to mean? That OSes like Arch, Crux, Slack or even OS/2 or BeOS should not get articles on OSNews just because Windows or OSX or BSD are better overall???
NO!
ALL should have their time and their analysis. I have written many articles about mdk, fedora or suse. It's time for others too. So, don't expect me to only stick with the big players, but instead I will try out and suggest (or not suggest) others too.
BTW, I don't believe that mdk does "big testing" for security patches, no more than slackware anyway. And the fact that slackware is so much faster AND stabler than mdk or suse, FOR ME, outweigh the fact that mdk/suse/rh have the capital to do extra development and create GUIs for everything.
So, don't you ever say again that I am not objective just because you believe that people should only be served and try the big players. That's not objectivity. You simply disagree. That doesn't make YOU objective or subjective neither me. It just makes us people who have DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.
