That's ridiculous....everyone knows that Slackware is based on a Flux Capacitor taken from a DeLorean.

Take me back!

P.S. Actually if it wasn't for the fact that Linus saw Slackware during his visits to the future, he wouldn't have bothered writing Linux.

Oh, dear God. This is Windows thinking (or at best, Ubuntu thinking). The operating system is not defined by the desktop environment.

It is when you choose your distribution based on screenshots on the home page.

ok, then why are you posting here. you just show up, and post comments that are either incorrect, troll bait, or simply showcasing your lack of google. if slackware is not for you, and you dont have anything to say about it, then dont post in the slackware forum.

Oh no! Slackware is a distribution like Mandriva, Fedora, etc that has Linux as its foundation.
I'm bad at understanding english but you seem to be worse than me ...

Slackware, it is not Linux but a distribution which has at its core Linux, which is the kernel? Do you understand?

:-)

No, what afreitascs means that is distributions like Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu, and in way trying to make linux more like windows in terms of Automation, and GUI's for everything, while Slackware subscribes to the principal of K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid) and makes no assumptions on what your going to be doing with your system., Pat and team aim at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out there.

You just keep on trolling, even as a senior member.
You should know this kind of questions have no sense.

Slackware empowers the user.

Don't remember what Ubuntu used to do, although I have used it before switching.
