Redhat goes for trimmed down config files without the traditional commented examples (and jokes), probably in order to appear more professional. Which is fine, but Slackware continues to include lots of comments and examples to get the beginner going. Compare something as mundane as/etc/hosts on both distros for an example.
It's this difference which makes Slackware a better distro to learn on at least.
