    Venerable Linux distro Slackware comes back to life

    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.

    "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.

KDE and Deepin are much more beautifull, xfce can be but isnt by default (I use it), KDE is by far the more rich and complete environment. Missing, i3/sway which are favorite at #unixporn and much more of oldest like fvwm."
