Thanks for the info.
Any reason you're leaving slackware now?
Yes. As much as I appreciate Slackware's bone-headed philosophy, the
installer, the simple startup scripts, the general Keep-It-Simple
approach and the overall robustness, the absence of PAM has been a real
showstopper for me.
Until now the only way to setup centralized authentication and roaming
profiles is to use a combination of NIS and NFS, which is far from ideal
in terms of security.
I suggested the inclusion of PAM in a public poll in the Slackware forum
on LinuxQuestions.org, which got mixed results. About half of the
Slackware users welcomed the idea, the other half got pretty angry, and
the result turned into a flamefest.
The idea had been to somewhat open up Slackware to the enterprise world,
but as far as I can reckon, the word "enterprise" curiously enough seems
to have a bad taste for a significant portion of Slackware's user base.
After this heated exchange, I decided to take a pragmatic approach and
choose a more appropriate tool as a base for my business. So here I am.
Cheers,
Niki
PS: after a few years on LQ, the general tone on the CentOS mailing list
seems like the Alban Berg Quartet after Slayer@Hellfest. :o)
