In this interesting guest column at DesktopLinux.com, Futtrup explains why he selected Minislack, and relates his experiences with installing, configuring, and using it as a newcomer to Linux.

i been a longtime Slackware user and Slackware always let me configuse my soundcard with rc.modules manually, MiniSlack tried to configure it automatically, i have a soundcard with a es1371 chip on it, but MiniSlack identified it as something else than what the card really is, MiniSlack seems like a good idea but i think i will stick with the origional Slackware...
i wish MiniSlack good luck and sucess with the venture...
one thing though, with Slackware a user can simply just not install GNome & KDE and opt for a light WM like xfce or WindowMaker and have a mini Slackware anyway...
