schestowitz__                  <blockquote>Apr 29 03:59
schestowitz__                    <p>Slackware in general is much closer to classic Unix than newer Linux versions, given it was first developed in the mid-'90s, when Unix was still king. If you are old school enough to use init scripts and know your way around the command line in general, then Slackware is probably more appealing as both a server and desktop Linux. </p>Apr 29 03:59
schestowitz__                    <p> "Slackware 15 has a lot of flexibility, but it's not for kids, and it's not SUSE, and it has non-Debian/RH/SUSE/Oracle roots, yet it's still very familiar to salted enterprise personnel and has all the juice except it eschews the disciplines/configs imposed by system," said Tom Henderson, principal researcher at ExtremeLabs. </p></blockquote></li>Apr 29 03:59
