Will the baby run Linux?

The main purpose of Slackware is to provide a Linux distribution that is very BSD-like. People familiar with FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD that need to use Linux will find Slackware very pleasant to work with.
Linux users that have no experience with UNIX and the CLI will find themselves stumbling around and complaining and asking stupid questions like: "Does Slackware have a real purpose?"
I look forward to upgrading.
well its been a while since i've used slackware, but i remember one thing, slackware was hardly like BSD. at least not Freebsd, gentoo is closer to freebsd than slack.
i liked slack, but after a few years of having to fiddle with things that shouldn't be necessary to get to work, i just stopped caring.
freebsd is a better OS, has a saner upgrading system than linux, but if i had to use linux i'd use debian or gentoo, maybe
Apple took some of the open source Slackware smugness and fused it with their marketing. If you ask the Apple Store clerk for the source they have some in the back. Arch and Gentoo also compiled and added smugness to their distro as well.
no no you have it wrong, they took the smugness of slackware and infused it with the hipster "irony" of buying over priced intel hardware that you can't upgrade
