Mad Penguin: Life Is Good When You’re a Slacker

[ Thanks to silentbob4 for this link.

“I’ve never really done any form of review of Slackware Linux
and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because it might come
across as biased since I consider it one of the most attractive
distributions available today. Maybe it’s because I’ve called it
home for so many years. Who knows. I will say that I recently
changed my mind about it and this is my story.

“As many of you know, I spend most of my time buried in Linux
distributions. When new software is released, I’ve got it and am
either loving it or getting ready to smash it repeatedly with a
large hammer. In other words, I’ve used and abused my fair share of
Linux software. There’s no doubt about that. The interesting thing
is that no matter how many distros I use, or even how much I enjoy
them, it seems I always come back to Slackware Linux. This is the
distro I consider home. Many times it’s where I come to regain my
sanity after wading through some of the craziest programming known
to man and called a Linux distribution. So why Slackware? Isn’t it
one of the more difficult distros to live with? Isn’t it using
‘old’ software? Doesn’t the devil endorse it? Wait a minute…
isn’t Patrick Volkerding (Slackware creator) the devil…?”
