“I don’t like Slackware. No, please! Do not stone me right away!
Slackware is a very good operating system. It’s just not
‘compatible’ with my nature. It’s the oldest Linux system, probably
the only distro fully compatible with the original foundations of
UNIX systems, and working according to the DIY paradigm (Do It
Yourself). It runs stable after proper configuration. The problem
is that I do change distros very often and were it not for the
frequent manual changes of the config files, the never ending
checking whether the versions of the system’s parts are correct…
Well, for a server, which it suffices to configure only once and
for all, it’s an excellently tailored distro. Or if one would like
to select reasonable software, have it installed, then configure it
carefully, and finally burned it as a LiveCD… Yes… and have the
logo of a green clover added just for luck… Wow, that’d be
something…!”
