Well, my time with Slackware is nearing it's end.
It's quite an interesting one, I could really feel it's age, tiny mirrors into the past are thrown around here and there between the modern stuff, reminding you just how ancient this distro actually is. It's really unique (in a good way).
Compiling software to install/update kinda sucks tho, and compared to Gentoo you have less control over the compilation and the options.
The installation was VERY simple and easy, you can definitely see how it became popular back in the day for being an "Easy to install SLS", and to this day it was THE fastest install I have ever seen from a distro, took literally minutes, was surprised.
I also love the ncurses look that keept popping up every now and then, I like the ncurses TUI style.
It was a pretty fun experience.
Next: OpenMandriva.
