Some thoughts about the future of Slackware
by I.G.O.R from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54NC1)
Attention: it's not trolling or attempt for provocation. Just some thoughts many of you probably had already.
Slackware reputation as stable distro has stepped back significantly for the last 8-10 years. Especially now with 4+ years delay of the new release.
Why Slackware wouldn't drop support for i386 and old releases, and stay more concentrated on its rolling release model instead?
Since many Slackware users already switched to -current and kind of accepted that Slackware now is de-facto rolling release, why not to switch to Arch or Gentoo?
