“The slackware 13.37 release came out this week and due to its
excellent timing, it’s now on my (multi-boot, thank GRUB!) desktop.
You see, I also had Ubuntu on the multi-boot, but the Natty Narwhal
doesn’t seem to like my graphics hardware, memory, hard-drive or
CPU. So you could say that slack 13.37 threw me a lifeline.“I moved away from slackware years ago to Red Hat (when it
was Red Hat Linux), because Anaconda was easier to use as an
installer and RPM was the greatest thing for packages.Slackware 13.37 is a different animal than slackware of 10 plus
years ago (but then again so is Linux), but it remains the same in
a lot of ways.”
