Farewell Slackware
by HalseyTaylor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H1N5)
After 25 years of using Slackware, it's time to move on. My thanks to Pat and all the others who kept Slack going over the years.
Slackware is a great learning tool for Linux. Those new to Linux can set up and get a solid desktop distribution without a lot of grief. Whenever a Win/Mac user asks which distribution they should get to start learning Linux, I'll continue to recommend Slackware.
Migrated to Crux. It has proven to be lightweight, fast, versatile, and easily customized. The 64/32-bit coexistence is excellent.
Good Luck,
Halsey
