I would like to point out that you can whittle down just about any GNU/Linux distro. In the end it's the things that are done for you that matter; For example, I use Fedora because it comes with sane SELINUX contexts and they have up-to-date pre-compiled packages. I don't mind minor losses in stability on my client machine because I already compensate for that.
on my servers I run a cornucopia of systems from MINIX3 to DragonFly BSD to Debian(which is very stable on the minimal install).
Oh and just for your info openBSD is used for a large majority of firewalls and thats Unix, but any linux system can be a strong firewall using iptables. Fact most if not all linux firewalls use iptables.
I can see you like your Slackware, I use it also along with Debian, but Linux is Linux. Slackware uses the same kernel as Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu's or any of the hundreds of other flavors of Linux. Each have there own package manager but at its core all linux systems are the same. A person can install packages any number of ways, .deb use apt-get Slack can use slapt-get all can install from source. If you really want to build a system that is built just for your hardware, built a Gentoo box.
No, it doesn't optimize itself. Compiler running on your PC will NOT magically generate better code than on someone else's PC. C, C++, and even C# have nothing to do with hacking/being hacked. Both Windows and Linux are used in high reliability, enterprise and military-grade secure systems.
non sequitur. gui is moving towards a holographic experience and there's little anyone can say or do about it. command line will live on, but it will do so in a back room or closet away from the rest of the world. if you wish to live in a back room or closet, then slackware is for you.
Look dude you may know your stuff I am still unsure. I am mcsa/mcse and you make really bad points. Slackware so does fail! maybe not for someone who is comfortable with C or C++.
BTW you clearly don't know how to cluster. I can cluster 10 android phone if I wanted! Old shit man. Like can I ask you an actual sub-netting question? Hmm? Din't think so.
Wow, I didn't know having a high school level certification from Microsoft made you captain coder. You really should think before you type. First of all C++ sucks.. hard. Anyone who writes C++ should be prepared for anyone to hack and destroy their code. Clearly don't know how to cluster? Okay that's why I built a 4000+ CPU server farm for the government. Sub netting has nothing to do with this video. Open GL is NOT a proprietary Microsoft only graphics system. GO RTFM!
@zioinc I have gone to college for that education. You have not. You don't know much and it is painfully clear. I have done plenty of work for the government. You think they teach MS courses in high school?? Maybe word or excel but not NOS infrastructure. No I know your using linux but the point of Slackware is to have a low impact on the system.
Your such a moron you didn't even get what I was saying.
@UNIXSOLJA I was in college when I was 15, I got the same certification you have when I wasn't even legally allowed to drive a car.. I have a degree/certifications AND I'm still in college at a Department of Defense school studying DOD level network security.

Interesting. I learned a lot, although you could have used a lot less pretension and maybe more people would have found this interesting.
In the end Ubuntu is the best for me because it's community is huge, I've never found whatever I wanted so easily than when I switched to Ubuntu from a wrecked windows.
As a Slackware user as well, I say this is more of a bloated ego. Point made at your reason #3. Any, ANY box's O/S can cluster services. Clustering is open everywhere. You see it in HPC applications, filesystems, and networking. Even at the core level as in HPC. And your keen liking to "core functions", if you really want core funtions, try a minimal install of slack, or a bsd flavor, instead of running that nice opengl matrix screensaver on your xwindows session. Just my two cents.
OK, Slackware is old, older than Red Hat. But as a Red Hat user I can say look at the numbers. Ubuntu and Red Hat clones are the highest usage distributions available. Your presentation, while admirable, is lacking in substance. The reason is useability. The command line is great, but I don't like to type. This doesn't mean I'm stupid, I just don't like to type. And this is the case with a lot of other people.
You know, Linux distros are all about preference. This is just this guy's opinion. I think Ubuntu is the best, but, like stated before, that's just MY opinion.
i see many crtics on this guy but it seems to me that the majority didnt even know/listen to what he said,
one point i have to correct is that ubuntu is not even CLOSE to what we slacker want, you shouldn't use it for comparison, slackware is even more superior than red hat, debian...etc., which are already known as secure and productive.
...and since you mentioned ubuntu, this keyword makes all the ubuntu n00b come and disagree with you (with inane reason)
There's a big difference between better and better for YOU. We all have different needs. For instance, I use Windows mainly for gaming and programming (.NET environment), but for everyday use, I prefer Linux. It is true that the user interface in Windows is a RAM hog, though.
Yes it is. As someone who has used Slackware for almost as long as I've used Linux, I can personally testify that, since Slackware 11, the Official Slackware hat has boosted Slackware performance by up to 20%, and simply makes the whole thing a lot easier to understand. I've found myself falling asleep in my Slackware hat. Get one!
I wish I had time to compare all of these distributions. My girlfriend is too demanding and I'm 57... Ubuntu is user friendly and when I have a hundred years to spare I'll try the others- Slackware first (he test version of Puppy is good, tho).
Ur what version of are you on about lol. I am a slack fan but some of the stuff you said is not accurate. The reason i dont primarily use slack is because its pre-compiled for generic hardware only recently in i686 was i486, it has no instruction optimizations as such specific to your individual hardware. Thats done with the GCC compiler at compile time.GCC v4 has auto-detect CPU arch-features now. Slack needs building from full source to achieve this. This is why i use Gentoo instead
You've got slackware and gentoo mixed up with the hardware, slackware comes with a gui (Kde) , just defaults to init level 3 (command prompt) which can be changed in 5 seconds by editing inittab and changing to 5. root is root in any linux distro and every one makes you set root password and defaults to non-root user. I'm assuming you're speaking about clustering which would still have to be compiled into the kernel as with any linux distro. Slackware is good but not for the reasons youve given.
First of all, I love Slackware. It is my Linux distro of choice, and has been since '98.
With that out of the way, this video is a bit misleading. Slackware *does* include graphical environments by default. However, it starts up to a command line. This is easily changed by editing your rc.config and switching to run level 4.
There is no need to "work your way up" to Slackware. It is very easy to use. Install, type 'startx' after logging in, and you're there.
@asininegenius After you're in a comfortable graphical environment, start looking at config files located in /etc. You will discover that *all* daemons are very easy to configure using the comments sections as a guide. You do not need to be an expert. This is a common misconception.
Upon using Slackware for a week, and tweaking it to you liking, you will learn that graphical configuration programs offer no advantages, only bloat.
Linux is very easy, people. This is the honest truth.
I'm not a programmer or developer so Zorin 5 Ultimate is my favorite. Slackware sounds like the way to go if you're comfortable with the command line.
I use arch am looking for a lightweight Desktop i've used Gnome and hated it and Unity is crap Openbox is good and Fluxbox was kinda laggy. got any ideas on what i can try?
You do realize that the hat, the glasses the matrix screensaver (not to mention your gaming toys) all seriously encroach upon you credibility. Do the slack ware community a favor and make another video where you look like somebody who should be taken seriously.
@sotosskoula i think gentoo's 'portage' is worth mentioning as well. I'm currently running gentoo and portage really gives the user a lot of control over how packages are compiled.
I just wanted to say Thank you for such an informative and convincing video, I am in the mist of trying different distros, none of them have an oobe that I like and I already imagined that a distribution that comes with nothing would be for me as I get to choose what I want it to use. That's the only thing I have gained from using ubuntu based distros, learning what I do and don't like. THANK YOU for pointing this newb in what may be the right direction(no im not scared of terminal). DETERMINED
I will soon be trying out other OS's. I have ditched WIndows last year and have been using Ubuntu for over a year, however I don't like the new DE. I'm like Gnome v2 and Ubuntu ditched it.
lol Ubuntu works great for me! I'm not an uber hax0r like many Linux elitists, but it works better than windows, it's simple and effective, and it gives me more time to do shit that actually matter to me since I don't have to spend hours learning commands and browsing forums for help.
@TheW4RP1G I think the key idea is that if you spend 24h just learning commands and stuff, you will save those 24 hours, and more, in the future because the commands will let you do things faster than with point and click. Not that I have much experience outside ubuntu, OS X and windows, I'm just trying to find something that displays neccecary info and is stripped of all the crap that every OS come with these days. Learning commands I am ok with.
I do not care to get into the which Linux distro is better debate. I use and am devoted to Linux as my OS of choice, and believe we are all the more intelligent users because of it. BSD users also. I started using Linux with Suse 6.1 years ago and others since. I have always wanted to use Slackware as it is a higher grade distro in my opinion. Because of this, i will subscribe to you in hopes that you teach instead of brag. No offense but i need to learn more about Slackware b4 i install it.
Slackware really IS a fantastic GNU/Linux for sure XD Yeah it's very fast on the oldest of hardware and you can build on it and add what you want. A GUI desktop or NO GUI desktop. Yeah it's VERY good :) Currently I'm running Debian though on my systems. I feel Debian is very stable as well. Ubuntu on the other hand HAS given problems in the past so I went to the more stable Debian. Yeah I use Debian but I have to admit Slackware is fantastic. You'll LEARN about Linux and UNIX from it :)
Using slackware does not make it the best linux os ever. Each distro has it's pros and cons. Whatever Linux os people use is there choice. That is why it is linux it gives you a choice. You should get over yourself. If you think using the terminal makes you some sort of jeti linux guru your wrong. Pretty much anybody that uses linux at some time or other will use the terminal.
You have a point, but no distro is really "better" than the other unless you're comparing specifics, but even that is based on a measurable, subjective preference which is related to accomplishing a specific goal. I've been using Slackware for a total of three days, and I like it a lot. I still dual-boot Ubuntu with it though because I know Ubuntu is more supported. I may switch to Debian though.
I love Linux don't get me wrong I use Mint myself but Linux isn't the only OS with a terminal function. Just open your windows 7 menu and type CMD in the search bar, click on it whalla a DOS based terminal that can do all the stuff windows 7 can normally do plus more sans the GUI.
I'm going to try slackware so I can learn a little bit more about how linux works. Having said that, from this video it seems like most of the reasons why slackware is better (ie 1-3) are not as important if you have a fast computer. Does it really matter if something uses 50 Mb RAM as opposed to 25 if you have 4000 available?
@Rib5 if your running ubuntu and unity, just check out how much of your system resources are actually being used just for unity. last i read, unity consumes somwhere around a gig. so between 25 and 50 megs, maybe not such a big deal. but those arent the numbers were dealing with lol.
You know why Slackware based Distros (Slackware, OpenSUSE, etc.) and Debian based distros (Debian, Ubuntu, MEPIS) the keyboard doesn't work ? It's a laptop.
Do Slackware based distros like Zenwalker and Salix os have these 5 advantages too? I'm thinking of installing Salix OS since it stays close to Slackware, but I wonder if I'll be able to do the same things as with the default slackware
I'm trying out linux distros and because of this vid I put slack on my have-to-try list. I'm using debian and I'm actually liking it better than windows. I'll probably fully switch to Linux after I graduate college because windows is required for the course that I'm taking. right now I'm on a dual boot basis.
Can somebody tell me what kernel is slackware using? I might use it if somebody can give me a link how to compile it and use it. I like the fact that it has no gui because I can learn more about command line with it.
@zioinc Thats pretty cool. I am thinking about playing around with it to see if I can use it without a gui. I also have game called Dominion 3 and I am wondering if I can get it to work with slackware with the command line. I cant do that in Ubuntu through the command line. I either dont know how to or it cant be done lol. I would perfer to try slackware to see how good it is. Right now Ubuntu crashes every once in awhile on my laptop. if slack ware will work better I figure why not use it.
@wooka64 Slackware use 2.6.x series of Linux operating system. Today propably a 3.2.x version as most new distributions.
You can not use Linux operating system directly, you need some libraries and system programs and at least some kind command line shell like zhs or bash, so you can see what you type, you can use programs, start programs and get output visible.
Can somebody tell mm what kernel is slackware using? I might us it if somebody can give me a link how to compile it and use it. I like the fact that it has no gui because I can learn more about command line with it.
All I see is some douchebag who has no idea what he's talking about trying to look cool for his friends that get wet from seeing simply python command lines.
Slackware's strength is that it is more customizable than most linux distros. So it's performance and stability is superb, because you process information that you need only. However, a distro like Debian is unique, because it's not bloated like Ubuntu, but has automation tools, that saves adminstrators a lot of time, therefore having servers always up while doing maintenances.
Sorry men, in this video you are just wrong! Linux was not and never will be good enough for software a designer like me. When it comes to software development the very only choice is Mac OS X, Microsoft are constantly taking viruses but after Linux and Microsoft there are not plenty of choices left for someone who needs to do some serious work on a serious machine...so in this video you fail...
If Slackware is good, why are you using openSUSE? (not being smart ass just curious) Also, how does one install Slackware onto a server without the extra packages because I believe there is no base OS install option.
OpenSuse / Suse is based off of Slackware. Search my site for Linux Evolution Chart and you can see were all the distributions spawn off of. Slackware was originally designed for servers, it doesn't need any extra packages i've been running Slackware via terminal on servers for over 7 years with no GUI.
This dork can use whatever command line distro he wants and feel like he's getting what he needs, and I'll use the one that requires the least command lines and uses a smooth point-and-click interface because I don't care to learn commands for everything, I just want a Windows replacement. That is why Ubuntu is better to me.
This dork actually took the time to learn the commands and since linux started out at terminal it's safe to say that I could hack into your fanbuntu and render your system useless. Linux is designed to be run at terminal. If you don't take the time to learn terminal then you might as well just use windows. Ubuntu is a piece of shit as is anything debian based.
@zioinc I applaud your ability to hack into Ubuntu, but you missed my point. Slackware is great at what it's designed to do. Ubuntu is great at what it is designed to do. They are both designed for different reasons, so they aren't comparable. You say Linux isn't designed to use a GUI, but I disagree. Linux is designed to do whatever you need it to do. It was made that way and made free for a reason. To put down Ubuntu for this is the same as saying people may as well just stick with Windows.
@TheW4RP1G I think he was just giving an example. Ubuntu is the most bloated out of all of the linux distros, and tell me who are you going to run too when your piggy wont run no more?
Slackware is like training to become a linux marine, and just like windows Ubuntu is for the people who want to play in candy land.
To each their own... the sheep only need candy land... but just because it looks like candy land doesn't mean it is candy land especially if you have to buy a new machine to run it
@NaturalGroundation I get what you guys are saying, but I'm not concerned with learning codes and commands at this point(I did that growing up with MS DOS already), all I really care about it something that works well with a simple, attractive point-and-click interface. I use Mint because it's the closest you'll find to an idiot proof Linux Distro. If someone can make a Slackware distro with an attractive GUI and a one-click package installer and update manager, I'll give it a shot for sure.
@TheW4RP1G There is a Slackware based distro with an attractive GUI and a one-click package installer, its called Salix. I used it in the past but now i just go with plain Slackware as i dont really need a GUI. The thing is that every package management i tried is flawed one way or the other. Some of them install every optional dependency, some of them pull the dependencies fine but would not know what to remove when uninstalling that program, some remove more packages that it needs to remove.
@zioinc Isn't that going too far? Really? Saying all Debian based systems are pieces of shit? Would you prefer all beginners to start out with Fedora, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Slackware, or even Gentoo? Now, I plan on building my way up to Slackware eventually, actually I only use Ubuntu now on my desktop because it's stable and I'm using my laptop to learn how to make Fedora stable enough for everyday usage, so I want to learn more about Linux, but I wouldn't call all Debian-based a piece of shit.
@zioinc WTF - Dumbass BS. "anything debian based" has got to be one of the stupidest comments I've read, Ubuntu sucks IMO and that's a safe statement IMO given the bloat of the OS that it is now, but Mint Debian is a very fast, stable, and awesome OS based on the Debian kernel (I'll admit, still ignorant to Linux vs. OS X and Windows). Interesting stuff, but Debian is the shit for a fast and quality GUI Linux system, I know that Im digging Mint Debian (fuck Ubuntu), but dig the vid!
@bellicjr Well the whole point in having forks is that people can rock the boat just the way they like it. This is just me and my ego terminal masturbation video that said im a linux user myself sine many years back, but then again all distros are not for every one.
@zioinc I second that. If you are uninterested in learning the cli you might as well use windows because you'll still be in GUI prison. The primary reason I started using linux years ago was because I was dissatisfied with the amount of access I had into the NT subsystem. I started on debian, quickly ran to Arch which I used for over 2 years, and am currently in search of something else, probably slackware or crunchbang.
@zioinc Good luck rendering Ubuntu useless without the password. Just like any Linux based OS, Ubuntu implements pretty tight security. The most you can do to someone's Ubuntu setup, without the password, is destroy their personal data, but nothing system reliant.
On top of that, I've used debian based distributions for awhile now because of how easy it is to use. Not just because I prefer the desktop environment to the command line, but because I can easily use the command line when I need it (which I only really use it to install or remove software).
Ubuntu is far from being a piece of shit. It's a very stable and secure system that just happens to be more average user friendly. It does what I need it to do.
I am by no means saying it is better than slackware or arch. But Ubuntu is by far the best option for a large amount of Linux desktop/laptop users. Slackware and Ubuntu are both still Linux. Slackware is just more manual than Ubuntu is.
@zioinc Ubuntu, as is Slackware, is miles ahead of Windows anyway. So using Ubuntu is not just like using Windows. Even if one doesn't use the command line.
His very first comments, that Slackware is not for joe beercan makes it less than perfect. It is not perfect if only 10% or less of the population can run it without a lot of problems.
Slackware is good for servers. It's like the industrial strength version of Linux. That doesn't necessarily make it "the best". It's by far more stable than fanbuntu.
Yeah as other said nice hat................now sorry but how can you say that slackware is THE BEST OS OUT THERE EVER! when you say its not for new Linux Users?
ok this is really stupid, i've just watched it because i wanted to know what someone has to say about a linux distro. i've been using slack for quite a long time along with gentoo and now arch. i found this really annoying. to listen someone dissing on an amazing distro like Debian is completely disrespectful. and you are not being only disrespectful to the people who maintain the distro but to the linux community. this has been always about choices, slack is not better but different.

one point i have to correct is that ubuntu is not even CLOSE to what we slacker want, you shouldn't use it for comparison, slackware is even more superior than red hat, debian...etc., which are already known as secure and productive.
...and since you mentioned ubuntu, this keyword makes all the ubuntu n00b come and disagree with you (with inane reason)

There's a big difference between better and better for YOU. We all have different needs. For instance, I use Windows mainly for gaming and programming (.NET environment), but for everyday use, I prefer Linux. It is true that the user interface in Windows is a RAM hog, though.

Yes it is. As someone who has used Slackware for almost as long as I've used Linux, I can personally testify that, since Slackware 11, the Official Slackware hat has boosted Slackware performance by up to 20%, and simply makes the whole thing a lot easier to understand. I've found myself falling asleep in my Slackware hat. Get one!

Ur what version of are you on about lol. I am a slack fan but some of the stuff you said is not accurate. The reason i dont primarily use slack is because its pre-compiled for generic hardware only recently in i686 was i486, it has no instruction optimizations as such specific to your individual hardware. Thats done with the GCC compiler at compile time.GCC v4 has auto-detect CPU arch-features now. Slack needs building from full source to achieve this. This is why i use Gentoo instead

You've got slackware and gentoo mixed up with the hardware, slackware comes with a gui (Kde) , just defaults to init level 3 (command prompt) which can be changed in 5 seconds by editing inittab and changing to 5. root is root in any linux distro and every one makes you set root password and defaults to non-root user. I'm assuming you're speaking about clustering which would still have to be compiled into the kernel as with any linux distro. Slackware is good but not for the reasons youve given.

First of all, I love Slackware. It is my Linux distro of choice, and has been since '98.
With that out of the way, this video is a bit misleading. Slackware *does* include graphical environments by default. However, it starts up to a command line. This is easily changed by editing your rc.config and switching to run level 4.
There is no need to "work your way up" to Slackware. It is very easy to use. Install, type 'startx' after logging in, and you're there.
asininegenius 2 months ago
@asininegenius After you're in a comfortable graphical environment, start looking at config files located in /etc. You will discover that *all* daemons are very easy to configure using the comments sections as a guide. You do not need to be an expert. This is a common misconception.
Upon using Slackware for a week, and tweaking it to you liking, you will learn that graphical configuration programs offer no advantages, only bloat.
Linux is very easy, people. This is the honest truth.

Using slackware does not make it the best linux os ever. Each distro has it's pros and cons. Whatever Linux os people use is there choice. That is why it is linux it gives you a choice. You should get over yourself. If you think using the terminal makes you some sort of jeti linux guru your wrong. Pretty much anybody that uses linux at some time or other will use the terminal.

You have a point, but no distro is really "better" than the other unless you're comparing specifics, but even that is based on a measurable, subjective preference which is related to accomplishing a specific goal. I've been using Slackware for a total of three days, and I like it a lot. I still dual-boot Ubuntu with it though because I know Ubuntu is more supported. I may switch to Debian though.

@wooka64 Slackware use 2.6.x series of Linux operating system. Today propably a 3.2.x version as most new distributions.
You can not use Linux operating system directly, you need some libraries and system programs and at least some kind command line shell like zhs or bash, so you can see what you type, you can use programs, start programs and get output visible.

Slackware's strength is that it is more customizable than most linux distros. So it's performance and stability is superb, because you process information that you need only. However, a distro like Debian is unique, because it's not bloated like Ubuntu, but has automation tools, that saves adminstrators a lot of time, therefore having servers always up while doing maintenances.

This dork actually took the time to learn the commands and since linux started out at terminal it's safe to say that I could hack into your fanbuntu and render your system useless.

zioinc 1 year ago
@zioinc I applaud your ability to hack into Ubuntu, but you missed my point. Slackware is great at what it's designed to do. Ubuntu is great at what it is designed to do. They are both designed for different reasons, so they aren't comparable. You say Linux isn't designed to use a GUI, but I disagree. Linux is designed to do whatever you need it to do. It was made that way and made free for a reason. To put down Ubuntu for this is the same as saying people may as well just stick with Windows.

@NaturalGroundation I get what you guys are saying, but I'm not concerned with learning codes and commands at this point(I did that growing up with MS DOS already), all I really care about it something that works well with a simple, attractive point-and-click interface.

If someone can make a Slackware distro with an attractive GUI and a one-click package installer and update manager, I'll give it a shot for sure.

@TheW4RP1G There is a Slackware based distro with an attractive GUI and a one-click package installer, its called Salix. I used it in the past but now i just go with plain Slackware as i dont really need a GUI. The thing is that every package management i tried is flawed one way or the other. Some of them install every optional dependency, some of them pull the dependencies fine but would not know what to remove when uninstalling that program, some remove more packages that it needs to remove.

On top of that, I've used debian based distributions for awhile now because of how easy it is to use. Not just because I prefer the desktop environment to the command line, but because I can easily use the command line when I need it (which I only really use it to install or remove software).
Ubuntu is far from being a piece of shit. It's a very stable and secure system that just happens to be more average user friendly. It does what I need it to do.
