Slackware 13 Revisit
,----[ Quote ]
| In my Slackware 13 review mfillpot gave some
| suggestions to improve the Slackware experience
| and I thought I would give them a shot. First
| off, changing the init level to 4 to allow KDM
| to show up instead of this startx business. I
| was happy to note that Slackware had emacs. So
| many distros have vi and I never really learned
| how to use it well. So I changed the value to 4
| and restarted.

Making the Switch to Arch Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I am really happy with Arch, although
| to be fair, I havenât been using it for more
| than a day yet. However, the documentation is
| great and the installation was relatively quick
| and painless, so I am pretty pleased at this
| point. I look forward to getting more
| comfortable with it and switching my other
| machines as well.

Ode to Slackware
,----[ Quote ]
| I have a place reserved in my heart that
| only Slackware Linux fills. Strange as it
| might be, Slackware was the first Linux
| distribution that seemed to understand me
| and, I it.
| I recently read an article which brought to
| mind, the time that I started my venture
| into the Linux community as a new user.
|
| [...]
|
| Slackware remains true to being the most
| similar to Unix of any Linux flavor
| available. Patrick Volkerding cleaned up a
| version of SLS for a professor at MSU to use
| in teaching LISP. This was the start of a
| beautiful thing. For many years, Patrick was
| the sole maintainer of Slackware Linux. This
| is still largely true to this day and has
| itâs advantages. Nothing goes into Slackware
| unless itâs ready. Packages must require
| little or no tweaking for maximum
| performance. Even Gnome was dropped because
| it required too much configuration.

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.

some words about Slackware
,----[ Quote ]
| some guys over at TechCrunch UK (or
| something like that) made a review of 8
| linux distributions which ships KDE as
| their default graphical desktop.
|
| the first one? Slackwareâ

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.)
