Ok, criaturas!
'Slackware is a Linux distribution. Slackware takes a different
approach than other popular distributions such as Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo,
SuSE, and Mandrake Linux. It might best be described as "UNIX-like", given
its policy of incorporating only stable applications, and the absence of
distribution-specific GUI configuration tools found in other varieties of
Linux. Partisans have been known to say, "When you know Slackware, you
know Linux... when you know Red Hat, all you know is Red Hat."(...)
(...) The name "Slackware" stems from the term "Slack," as defined by the
Church of the SubGenius.'

' Slack
The central belief in the Church is the pursuit of Slack, which generally
stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that
comes when you achieve your personal goals. The Church states that we were
all born with Original Slack, but that Slack has been stolen from us by a
worldwide conspiracy of normal people. The Church encourages originality
and frowns on actions seen as "pinkness," which happens when you bow down
to authority and the accepted limits of society. Popular Church phrases
supporting these goals are "The SubGenius Must Have Slack" and "Fuck 'Em
If They Can't Take A Joke."'
