if you want to have slackware, first rule is you must read all the basic of using it, on my experience firstime i learned i was stuck in the console, since all i know the OS is all about GUI, so i start to learn how to have GUI on my OS, but it takes time since im not cheating on the google to ask " how to start GUI on the linux console", but after i fread the documentation i found out that you just need to type "startx" to start the gui, and you can have the various type of gui, just you need to installed it first on your system before you have it. in simple words, it was adventurous to learn slackware for beginner, but its fun and worthed.

i used slackware since 10th version, for the first i dont know a lot about shell script and networking feature, after i learned it, slackware covers all the need for regular OS need, from scripting, multimedia to office it works, and more of that i can use slackware to play games without LAG that i found when i play it with the commercial OS in the same PC, i learned a lot about kernel and configure the kernel based on my hardware spec, so i can get the optimum hardware function without having resource hunger like the commercial OS did. overall Slackware cover all you need from an Operation System.

All kinds of problem. I realized how easy is to modify the kernel and have your own kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried not that many distributives (around 5-6) but ended up with Slackware for its stability, documentation and community. You can make your system be anything you like but you need to know what you're doing.

Btw, Slackware team, thank you for your great impressive work! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to have Slackware as my working station since university time, so all programs I've developed, all applications I used to have for listening to music, reading docs, working with graphics I had to learn how to install, make it work. Then at work, we had couple of servers with this distributive and to me, it was much easier to set up apache, virtual hosts, DB settings because by that time I knew the os structure.

I control the system and no one else, that's what I realized and along with that you have to understand you are responsible for every step you do, so it would be better to read/learn a bit before diving into a slackware ocean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you install ubuntu, you will know ubuntu. If you install Arch, you will know Arch. If you install Slackware, you will know Linux.

It's not the user friendlest os ... but I will not change it if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
