Running Slackware "Current"
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week's tips and tricks section provided information on how to "upgrade"
| a stable Mandriva release to the latest development branch. Although running
| development trees and upgrading them in regular intervals can be risky and
| may even render your system unbootable or otherwise unstable, it is an
| excellent way of participating in the development of your favourite
| distribution and reporting bugs to upstream projects. Needless to say, some
| Linux knowledge and experience is required, so this should only be done by
| those users who know how to fix their bootloader if things go wrong!

Slackware 12.1

| All in all, Slackware is actually a good distro, and its customisation
| options are excellent at every stage. Its package management system, while a
| little difficult to get to grips with, is probably only as difficult as APT,
| and as soon as you get X started most of the file editing stuff does not
| matter so much. Against a distro like Ubuntu, Slackware is slower, less easy
| to use, less up to date and less well supported, but its strongest aspect it
| is customisation abilities, which would appeal if you wanted to run a server
| or know what you are doing.

5 Minutes of Slackware 12.2

| As expected all devices are detected. Slackware is fast and responsive. Boots
| to command line - boy does that take me back... Fortunately I haven't
| forgotten how to type "startx".

Review: Slackware 12.2
,----[ Quote ]
| So what is my ultimate verdict for Slackware? On the one hand, stories of
| how hard it is to install Slackware are greatly exagerated. They may have
| been true in the past, but nowadays, it’s pretty darned easy to install.

The Slackware 12.2 interview
,----[ Quote ]
| Covering a Linux distribution is hard work as there are so
| many areas to look at but hopefully I’ve given you a taste
| of what Slackware can do. The strength of Slackware lies in
| it’s reliable and stable base, it’s configurable method of
| setup, and it’s adherence to the principle of KISS ( keep
| it simple, stupid ). Patrick’s ongoing commitment to the
| distro in the face of personal difficulties shows the
| quality of people behind this oft-overlooked distro. Its
| continued use as a starting point for many other
| distro’s/LiveCDs and the fact that it’s the oldest usable
| Linux on the market shows its inherent importance in the
| grander scheme of things.
