Slackware 12

Posted on January 29, 2008 - Filed Under Distro Point |


Well as far my exposure to various distros Slackware is the one that got on the my blood … I felt a connection between me a the philosophy of Slackware , Slackware aims at its stability and simplicity .“Slack, which generally stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that comes when you achieve your personal goals”.So definitely the meaning Slackware is obvious .Well usage till now reveled that its no easy for a newbie to use Slackware … Due to its strick UNIX biasing .. Well my intentions of using this particular distro was something else .. I wanted to learn GNU/Linux from its raw form .. Well Slackware does provide an environment for learning GNU/Linux.. . Learning Linux means not the Linux kernel as such but the GNU utilities which varies from (a-z) he he … :-)

 

Some Reason to choose Slackware

  • If you are planing to learn GNU/Linux as such
  • If you want to tweak each and every settings your self I don’t say other distros don’t allow it but when it comes to configuration you are on your own in Slackware
  • If you wana set up a good server (file,mail.. any)
  • if you are a fan of simplicity
  • if you have a killer instinct to solve issues that arise

 

 

 

I don’t say Slackware really touch thing to conquer. Once you understand the UNIX philosophy you will certainly have some momentum . So once again i say Slackware is the best one I have come across for the purpose of learning GNU/Linux .Of course Its still powerful for other purposes . One thing to keep in mind is that once u install Slackware you are on your on for the tweaking you will also get online help too..If you want any assistance regarding Slackware you may contact me at althafispure@gmail.com

 

 

 

Happy blogging
