who is it written for? people who are to jump into slackware don't need an explanation 'what is linux', and the ones who need it will have no clue what to do after reading this post.
btw http://hackerne.ws/item?id=4378972 http://hackerne.ws/item?id=4378972 from a few hours ago (and originally from a few years ago). a rewritten pointless post about arch and slackware - coincidence?
- rohshall 14y agoThere is no great mystery behind it. I am the one who posted both these articles. I am thinking of trying out another distro after trying (and loving) arch linux and Slackware seems like a good distro to try.
- zalew 14y agoOk, but I don't get these tutorials for the sake of writing a tutorial, with no specified target group. It's like I've written "comparing python vs ruby, getting dirty with dynamic languages" and started it with "a computer program is a set of instructions... the source code is written in something called a programming language..."
- rohshall 14y agoHe is not comparing distros. He is just recommending to newcomers which distros to start with. But yes, I agree that the introduction is too basic first. Maybe, he just want newcomers to know the 'real distros' they should try out after knowing the basics.
