  1. Slackware = great by wikinerd · · Score: 3, Informative

    Slackware is a great distribution and very well-suited for custom servers and *nix fans. I have purchased Slackware CDs and have a machine in my home with Slackware 10.0. I have also met people running their small business only with Slackware. It is also a great distribution for experimentation and for learning the inner workings of GNU/Linux.

    then you are an idiot by definition.

  3. Usefulness. by rincebrain · · Score: 5, Informative

    IMO, these guides are useful for general Linux users who want a guide to various tools on their desktop.

    Slackware users, on the other hand, tend to prefer a more terminal/console-centric view, so the usefulness of this guide to anyone using Slackware for, as I've usually seen it, a server of some kind [printer, file, FTP, web], would probably do better to read some other documentation.

    Just my $0.25.
