Well I havent been on the forum for a while, i'm back now.
Thought i'd join the discussion by stating why I prefer slackware enough to want to use it. (this was originally posted, but lost, so this post may well be not as good. or coherent,)
Well Slackware seems to be a distro that drags people in and assimilates them, you may have heard the phrase "Once you go Slack, you never go back), people like it's simplicity, and it's philosophy, so stick with the distro, evermore.
I'm one of those you see, I like the philosophy behind it, i like the simple package system, I like the fact that it's all as simple and close to how the software was origianlly intended as possible, I like the fact that It's on of the most UNIX like distros available.
On the Package management, it's not hard, especially compared to how some people think. I subscribe to teh view that if you don't understand the basics aobut something, can't be botherd to read ever the README file, then you have no business installing it. If you just check what dependancies a package needs, and install them, then you are set, it will install sweet as anything, and just work.
For those reasons, and perhaps more (I'm picky and perfectionistic, plus i like a challenge ) I'm prepared to try to get the distro in a state to be used as a Z rom,
But, University exams are coming up, I'll have to wait untill i have the mout of the way at least. 4 weeks till my exams, I'll look into it after then, till then I'l happily beta test for any other rom, as a new rom for the 3K is good for all .
Later kids
