The reason I like Slackware is that it doesn't get in the way of me
doing what I want to do. It doesn't have a bazillion interdependencies
between packages, so I can pick and choose what I want to install. As a
result, it is faster and makes far fewer demands on a system than, say,
Red Hat, OpenLinux, Mandrake, SuSE, &c. It also "just works," as Doug
said.
