r1w1s1,

great distro.

FrankTheHealer,

Cool to see.

I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can’t?

Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor

BuboScandiacus,

More stable than Debian.

I’m not that old of a linux user, I think Slack may have been the second distro that I tried in probably 2000 after starting on Mandrake

Same here. Mandrake 8.2 was a buggy mess, but I have fond memories of it.
