What is Slackware?
1.
The best, fastest, simplest, oldest, most secure, and most UNIX-like distribution of Linux.
I use Slackware on my box. Better dead than Red(Hat)
2.
A linux distribution distinguished by being particularly "bare-bones" Also well known for good security right out of the box.
My RedHat box got rooted, so I switched to slackware.
3.
An open-source, free
Comes as a four-CD set, though just one can be used to have a terminal-style installation. Disc two contains the desktop environment and a bootable rescue disk.
My Slackware server has served me well.
4.
Better than red hat but harder initaly to learn.
Works great and is recomended greatly in computer security.
