Is Slackware Fading Away?

Posted by Hemos on from the don't-fade-away dept.

A reader writes "I just read over on userlocal.com about how David Cantrell announced he is no longer actively developing protopkg and autoslack (these are 2 apps that could have brought slack out of the stoneage but still kept to slacks philosophy of K.I.S.S.). So is it almost "game over" for the first commercial linux distribution which used to be the heavyweight champ?"

    It will never fade away as long as I keep using it. Sorry redhat, debian, mandrake, etc. I like linux, not windows.
