Extreme Tech rates Slackware as number one geek distro.

Slackware #1

Good list, but why sabayon if you already listed gentoo? I'd pick crux instead of sabayon.

LMAO......that's my screenshot they're using on Extreme Tech. Take a closer look at the shell prompt.

Hehe

Me too, I don't think Sabayon should be on there, I personally don't like it at all. It's like Ubuntu-ized Gentoo, yuck !

Nice wallpaper. I'm learning slowly enough as it is, don't think I'd be able to concentrate very well with her staring at me.

I haven't tried Sabayon since 3.2 or 3.3, took ages to boot up into a desktop designed for vampires: all blood red and black with a big claw. An eye-candy distro.

For being number one, the article did not say a lot about Slackware. Notice the version in the picture is 11.0.

That is the thing that has prevented me from even trying Sabayon.
Along with the fact that most of the screenshots on their page feature games.

Heh-heh, no. I don't mind them using it at all.

Thank you. Yeah, she did become a bit unnerving after a time....so she's now long gone.

Wow, cool hitest! hey... do you happen to know the girl in the screenshot? (Hope she's not your wife or family, sorry in that case and lucky you) She should come and join us on LQ, #slackware ##slackware and #slackbuilds, hope she'd like pm

Thank you, MannyNix! Ha-ha, no, I wish I knew her. I found that wallpaper out on the Internetz somewhere. Agreed! She would be a welcome addition to our IRC channels.

Just noticed it's a reader's article submitted by Masinick - he's an LQ member.
