Xe|oN Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 i use slackware for several reasons...n1. slackware is the most "unix like" distro out there... n2. the installation is simple... it looks hard for noobs because its text-based but its almost as simple as installing mandrake n3. i have less problems with slackware n4. slackware is the oldest distro... old is cool ! n5. slackware sounds better than debian or gentoo :p never mind n4 & n5 lol. I think I'll give it a go. Gonna be hard wanting to use it over Debian and Gentoo (I currently use both) but hey I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phanbot Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Gentoo is the only distro that I'd ever think of using. I tried Mandrake and Redhat, both decent distros but I could never get acustomed to the dependancy problems that pop up whenever I installed a new program. The portage system removes that headache. Docs are available online, and the forums are the best. Go to a slack or debian forum and ask a noob question and see how many "RTFM'S" you'll be replied with. This rarely happens in a Gentoo forum, at the most you'll be told to do a search to see if the question was previously asked and if a solution was provided. Or they'll give you the url to a post that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
