I am a user, it doesn't matter what distro at all. I prefer rh for its simplicity, but slack is just as good. With this nice new pre-release of rh, with XFree 3.3, and kernel 2.2, and other new stuff people seem to like, how long are we expected to wait for (what ?true? linux users say is the best) slack to get its ass in gear. Quite frankley, I'm dissapointed in the slack developers, its libc5, it seems to refuse to ship with packaging system (for the newbies) and so forth. It would be nice if slack (and other distros for that matter) could agree to ship with dpkg or rpm, (or whatever).
I'm also sick of hearing people whine about how RedHat sucks cause it uses rpms, and how everyone should 'Use the Source Luke.' I ask you, what Linux distro doesnt use a standard (for it) packaging system? Slackware is the only one that comes to mind.
Linux is Linux. Its as simple as that. Slack, rh, debian, caldera, suse, stampede, turbo, IT DOES NOT MATTER!
