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?"

    Uh if you know what you are doing with RedHat you could have done that. In Redhat you can select from individual packages. I think 300M would have been emough, to install the very minimul toolset.
