I considered updating one year later... but why not four years instead? Better late than never I suppose.

In a previous blog post I reviewed my week of installing half a dozen distros on my hard-drive. Besides Slackware, my daily driver, these distros were: Arch, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian.
