OOH a closet slacker huh.

I've been trying different distro's and I like debian and all, but definately like slackware more. Too each there own I guess.

Yep.

Nothing, I mean it, nothing is like Slack. Sorry if offended other distro lovers

people who use slack say its fantastic, what would you say to someone like me (a debian user) to get me to convert? what are these great features that make people love it so much?

Probably Just lot of tinkering!

Try it, and I'm certain you'll never use anything else again

I have to admit that I have tried (and am trying) other distros, but I always return to Slackware. I feel much less constrained under Slackware, using rpms, debs, etc just doesn't work for me any more - using source packages for everything makes more sense for me and I find it easier to work with.

The great thing about Linux, though, is that we are all catered for and there is a distro for all of us.

Bravo, Xavier!
I was about to write this but had it first

And yes, I also like to know and see what exactly I install and and what it does to system.

Almost forgot!
Slackware is the closest to FreeBSD distro. Here I find very good reason to use it

i'm an old UNIX dog.. i cut my teeth on Unisys UX, and SCO OpenServer..

slackware is the truest to form ov the original SVR4 (system five release 4) that ive ever seen.. i have tried -several- distros, and always end up slapping slackware back on/over it...

POSIX - GNU true..

yay..
