Slackware Linux - Less is more

,----[ Quote ]
| Slackware is the oldest Linux distribution 
| still with us and has a loyal following among 
| those long term Linux users who pine for the 
| old fashioned virtues of simplicity, 
| straightforwardness and lack of bloat.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Volkerding still largely runs Slack as a one 
| man operation. This has its drawbacks and its 
| virtues. Packages are only updated if they 
| require little or no tweaking to raise their 
| performance, and some, such as GNOME, have 
| been dropped, because they require too much 
| configuration.

Arch vs. Slackware, a friendly comparison

,----[ Quote ]
| As you might know, there are about a
| hundred thousand million billion Linux
| distributions. (For those who donât know,
| the âLinuxâ core is an operating system
| kernel, and people take it and build
| collections of software around it called
| âdistributionsâ, and people install these
| distributions, and then, in casual
| conversation, call the distribution
| âLinuxâ.  All this adds up to confusion
| for people who donât already know it all.)
