[News] In Praise of Slackware 12.0

My thoughts on Slackware 12.0  

,----[ Quote ]
| The installation of the NVIDIA driver for my platform went off without a 
| hitch.  There aren’t a great many games for GNU/Linux yet, but there are a 
| few to choose from when the desire to game hits me, and if the native 
| GNU/Linux games aren’t enough, WINE works wonders.  I can generally play more 
| games designed for windows than a Vista user.

| Though Slackware takes a little bit more effort than many other operating 
| systems to get set up and working, it is well worth the effort.  I have found 
| my new favorite OS.

Slackware, the Un-Buntu

| Once again, Slackware is supposed to be complicated and hard to manage, but 
| this experience proved to be different -- and very satisfying. In the Xfce 
| printer settings, I selected CUPS to manage my printing. Then I went to CUPS 
| configuration in the Slackware menu.

Slackware: old warhorse is going strong

,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I looked at Slackware was nearly seven years ago; version 7.1 
| was thrown my way by a magazine and I was asked for a review. My usage of the 
| distribution had ended early in 2000 when I moved to Debian after using 
| Slackware 4.0 and then 7.0 for about a year.

| I guess Slackware will have its band of loyal users; it has some good points 
| and a certain kind of people like their Linux the way Volkerding has designed 
| the distribution. Had the upgrade process been less cumbersome, who knows, I 
| might still be using it.

Slackware: Secure all the way back to 8.1

,----[ Quote ]
| Slackware provides security updates all the way back to version 8.1 along 
| with 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0 and 12.0, so if there is a reason 
| you're using an older version of Slack, it is still being supported by the 
| distro's creator, Patrick Volkerding and his team.

Slackware: There's something totally sane about it

,----[ Quote ]
| Did I mention that configuring CUPS printing for my difficult-to-dial-in 
| networked printer was easier in Slackware than in anything else I've tried? 
| I'm mentioning it now.

| I HIGHLY recommend Slackware 12 to anyone that has an open mind and isn’t 
| afraid to maybe get their hands a tad dirty. Slackware won’t baby you like 
| ubuntu, but you will learn a lot more about Linux with Slackware.
