“I never envisioned myself trying out any of the more
advanced distributions like Slackware, Arch, or Gentoo, but having
tried derivatives like GNU/Linux Utopia, Chakra, and Sabayon, I
think I’m ready to try Slackware and Arch, and I am writing about
the former today. Hopefully, the latter can also happen soon. (I’m
still not going to try Gentoo.) Note: this review will be heavy on
images, so don’t be surprised if the page takes a little time to
load.“Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux distribution, and it
brings with it, alongside its famous rock-solid stability, a couple
of quirks and anachronisms. For example, it is one of the few
distributions that provides no form of dependency management; users
need to install all dependent packages manually.”
