Currently my second favorite distro behind Arch..
brief history..
1999 - Slackware Loved compiling everything and troubleshooting
2004 - Fedora 2 - Blown away when I saw how easy it was to install packages via RPM
2007 - Debian (Sarge?) - Blown away when I used apt* for the first time and dependencies just auto magically installed
2011 - Linux Mint - Looked like *buntu without the extra cruft.
2012/13 - Arch - reminds me of my Slack days where less magic happening under the hood but with great package management tools.
- heidar 14y agoSlackware is a great distro. Did you never try Gentoo during that period? Especially around 2002-2005 when the community was the most active. I'm asking since you loved compiling and troubleshooting. :)
