I've been using slack for ages, probably the last 6 years - I forget the version I started on. :&)
I've always found it a nice distrib, with the only niggle being upgrading from one version to the next - I only did the upgrade from a muchly upgraded 3.2 to 4 the other month.
It doesn't take as long as you'd think to get things back how you like them, and if anything, it clears out the drive a bit - you have no idea how much space you have tied up in programs you never use!
Just do `df` then `cd /usr/src; for a in *; do cd $a; make clean; cd /usr/src; done` then another `df` - I had abour 400Mb in .o's! It's something you don't think about till you run low on disk space.
In short - slackware has always installed like a breeze for me, upgrades from one distrib to the next might be a bit more of a pain, but let's see how we go :&)
Keep it up Pat!
