First look at Slackware Linux 12.1
,----[ Quote ]
| All these points hint at an excellent (if not perfect) server and -- with a
| few tweaks and an occasional trip to one of the third-party Slackware
| repositories (see our Slackware page for a list) -- a fairly decent desktop
| system, especially for those who already know a thing or two about Linux.
| Slackware Linux also remains a great base system for custom solutions, as
| demonstrated by the many Slackware-based distributions that exists on the
| market. But overall, it's a mixed bag - a solid, stable and well-tested
| operating system, but clearly designed for the more knowledgeable user (or a
| user willing to learn) than the average Joe.

Linux : The whizkid on the software block
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is perhaps one of the most interesting as well as challenging
| innovations in the history of software. Well, those who belong to the
| software industry and are hard core Linux users, can surely vouch for that.
|
| Available in more than 350 or more distributions, Linux surely has huge
| orientations and a large number of userbase going gung ho about the same.

Slackware [12.1] Release Announcement
,----[ Quote ]
| Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release
| again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.1!
| Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and
| fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware
| 12.1 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.0) and is a
| must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.

My thoughts on Slackware 12.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The installation of the NVIDIA driver for my platform went off without a
| hitch. There aren’t a great many games for GNU/Linux yet, but there are a
| few to choose from when the desire to game hits me, and if the native
| GNU/Linux games aren’t enough, WINE works wonders. I can generally play more
| games designed for windows than a Vista user.

| Though Slackware takes a little bit more effort than many other operating
| systems to get set up and working, it is well worth the effort. I have found
| my new favorite OS.

Slackware, the Un-Buntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Once again, Slackware is supposed to be complicated and hard to manage, but
| this experience proved to be different -- and very satisfying. In the Xfce
| printer settings, I selected CUPS to manage my printing. Then I went to CUPS
| configuration in the Slackware menu.

Slackware: old warhorse is going strong
,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I looked at Slackware was nearly seven years ago; version 7.1
| was thrown my way by a magazine and I was asked for a review. My usage of the
| distribution had ended early in 2000 when I moved to Debian after using
| Slackware 4.0 and then 7.0 for about a year.

| I guess Slackware will have its band of loyal users; it has some good points
| and a certain kind of people like their Linux the way Volkerding has designed
| the distribution. Had the upgrade process been less cumbersome, who knows, I
| might still be using it.

Slackware: Secure all the way back to 8.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Slackware provides security updates all the way back to version 8.1 along
| with 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0 and 12.0, so if there is a reason
| you're using an older version of Slack, it is still being supported by the
| distro's creator, Patrick Volkerding and his team.

Slackware: There's something totally sane about it
,----[ Quote ]
| Did I mention that configuring CUPS printing for my difficult-to-dial-in
| networked printer was easier in Slackware than in anything else I've tried?
| I'm mentioning it now.

Full Slackware 12.0 Review

| I HIGHLY recommend Slackware 12 to anyone that has an open mind and isn’t
| afraid to maybe get their hands a tad dirty. Slackware won’t baby you like
| ubuntu, but you will learn a lot more about Linux with Slackware.
