ive seen a TINY bit of information on slackware, it seems to have a strong community from what i hear, and im thinking about using it a bit. not on my main machine though, just trying it out. what's /g/'s opinion on it?

the fact that the package manager doesn't handle dependencies makes it a completely invalid project

okay, so now we're talking about a distro that I can't trust to just let me start working after I install it. I need software from somewhere other than the distro itself, and the assumption that I won't be installing the OS and working on many different machines, so I can just leave an extra helper program on there and it's fine forever.

Like, until that 3rd party program doesn't get updates anymore even though the main distro is still alive. Love how often that happens.

I was baiting you into mentioning a third-party pacakge manager but I hadn't even heard of this one. That's how bad it is, they can't even agree on which one to use.
