dep, I'm curious. What do you find attractive about Slackware? What causes it to stand out so above the others?
My (unlearned) impression is it's the one with a face only a mother could love. And will never be anything more than a curiousity. So in that way, it's arguably no different than Gentoo. Just older. When a commercial client talks to me about Linux. They mean Red Hat and I don't attempt to persuade them any different. I wouldn't even bring up Slack, Gentoo or now even Caldera or SuSE. But the real enemy is none of those and you know who I mean. Red Hat may not be perfect but it beats the alternative. We may be reluctant to cheer for Red Hat. But at least they're actually *in* the game. Far more than can be said for any of the others. Especially now that UnitedNoDesktopsLinux is destined to remembered only by the size of their smoking hole in the ground.
