After a week of that, and a week of 7.1, I decided to try out a distro called Slackware (http://www.slackware.com). I don’t know what made me do it, maybe it was the name, something about it appealed to me …
Whats that got to do with 8.1?” you must be asking yourself. Well, I wanted to let you know my history with this distro. The production servers I admin at work currently run Slackware 8.0 with a 2.4.14 kernel (I know, I need to upgrade the kernel) and while I have tried other distributions (Ok, one other distribution, gentoo) I keep coming back to Slackware.”
