[Cialug] Slackware

[Matt Patterson]

I'm still running slackware on a few home machines. If you like getting 
under the hood and seeing how things work, slackware is a great distro!  I 
also like the simplistic approach to the distrobution.   The less stuff 
that is installed and running the better.  Ecspecially when it comes to 
servers!

I use slackpkg to help keep my systems up date date. It makes updates a 
*lot* easier.

If anyone is looking for media, I have a copies that I can burn for you or 
provide a link for download.
