5 Ways to Decide on a Linux Distribution 

,----[ Quote ]
| Prejudices and opinions aside, at some point in your career you'll be asked 
| to select a viable Linux distribution for your corporate network. How will 
| you choose? Will you use the same distribution that you use at home or will 
| you do some research and find something that's corporate-ready? Are you up to 
| the task? Do you know what to look for in a distribution to support a 
| corporate environment?

The beginner's guide to Slackware Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| With Pat's central role in Slackware firmly established, we come on to 
| patches. Most distros take the original, upstream source code of a program 
| and weld on patches – one, two, 10, often more – to fit it in with the rest 
| of the software and distro. That's fine for many users, but if you want to be 
| sure you're getting what the developer originally intended, you're better off 
| with Slackware.

Slackware Changes Package Compression Format

,----[ Quote ]
| I run slackware-current on my main workstation and I should keep up to date
| more often than I do. Anyway, on May 8th Patrick switched over to the new
| compression format of xz, based on an LZMA compression algorithm. This
| significantly reduces the size of compressed packages. Great stuff. Anyway, I
| noticed this because when I ran slackpkg upgrade-all it continuously failed.
| I was a bit perplexed but it’s an easy fix if you are a bit late.
