Review on Slackware by Justin Hollins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slackware is an open source alternative with many benefits

I like that it's very stable (it doesn't crash often), but more importantly because its easy to install without much hassle or problems! It also has great support for multiple languages so you can do your work in whatever language suits best. The only thing about slackwares i dislike are their lack of updates sometimes; they stick pretty close to what was released years ago which makes them less appealing than other distros who update frequently etc.. However this isn't something really noticeable unless someone wants/needs frequent upgrades all over again. If anyone needs help installing linux then just go ahead and give slackwears another try - if nothing else at least see how well it works out compared to others before deciding whether its worth using. My main reason behind choosing slacks were mainly due to my experience being able to easily get up-to date applications installed onto.

Pros
  • Great stability
  • Reliable software distribution system with no trouble getting new apps running.
  • Easy, friendly community forum where people usually reply promptly when asked questions pertaining OS issues &_or_ application installation difficulties.
  • Linux is generally better known by general public as opposed too Macs..but not always..(i'm looking forward into buying an iPad soon ; ) )
Cons
  • Not the best
