I don't think this is the place for another episode of this endless troll. Slackware fits my way in that it never gets in my way, never tries to tell me how I should do things in a different manner than what is said in upstream's documentation. Basically everytime I try a "dependencies-checking" distro I end up fighting against it and thinking about raising goats in the country-side because I just wanted mysql and from nowhere it wants me to configure postfix (few days ago on a colleague's laptop). Slackware gives me the keys of my system, pats me on the back, tell me "it's all yours" and that's it. Slackware's point of view in a nutshell is - Dependencies are a false problem. - Patching upstream is a bad idea. Upstream is there, let them do the job. - KISS That's it, Slackware for me, Debian for you, and everything is fine.
