First Impressions of Slackware 10

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the updated-classics dept.

Eugenia writes "Michael Hall wrote an informative article about the first impressions of the recently released Slackware 10, mostly discussing the domain Slack excels: the server. Michael concludes that 'Slackware 10 is a well-rounded distribution that will continue to make a first-class Linux server platform. Changes in the new release are incremental, not radical, and Slackware remains one of the most stable, reliable and flexible distributions available today.' The article also sports 14 screenshots."

    You'd think Slackware would suck, what with all the slacking that should be going on.

    Do you really want to run THIS guy's distro on your box? I mean, having RMS's grubby paws over all the utils is bad enough, but THIS guy? I'd have to take a bath after using my machine, just to get the hippy stench off me.

    Woah! It configured your display automatically! What other features does it have that Windows had in the 80s?

    Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.

    Who is eugenia Loli-Queru, married to Jean Baptiste, who is in the screenshots? With her email address eloli ~at~ hotmail ' com, and what is slackware doing installed on a celeron?

    Who is Michael Hall who works for a consultancy and does server installs like the articel says, but who uses eugenia's screenshots?

    mmm?
