Many of you will say that Slackware is old, or that this distribution doesn't follow the trends. Many will say that package management is weak or that the distribution is compiled for i386 and that's why it is not as fast as other distributions that are optimized for i586 and i686.
First of all, let me say that it comes with the latest packages like:
Kernel 2.4.20, Gcc 3.2.2, GLibc 2.3.1, XFree86 4.3.0, KDE 3.1, Gnome 2.2, Cups 1.1.18, Mozilla 1.3 , Netscape 7.03, and many more....
Package management doesn't check dependencies and it has not the functionality of rpm or deb packages, but tgz files are smaller and they can be very easily build up. Slackware has package management tools like: pkgtool, installpkg, removepkg, rpm2tgz and so on...
Almost the whole distribution is compiled with the CFLAGS set to:
"-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686"
which means that it is i686 optimized and i386 compatible. |
