 Redhat vs Slackware? Hi all, I curious what the significant differences are between Redhat (non-SPDMS) and Slackware Linux. Would I be wrong to say that the differences boil down to just these three? 1. use of RPMs in Redhat instead of tarballs in Slackware 2. more GUI support for configuration in Redhat 3. BSD-based config files in Redhat vs SysV in Slackware? Thank you.      |

I moved to Slackware about two years ago, from Redhat 8.0 to Slack 9.0. I noticed that Slack was quite a bit faster to boot and to launch konqueror and kmail than Redhat. I tried Linux From Scratch and it worked out well after I finally got it going, but the lack any package manager at all drove me back to Slackware. Slackware has been extremely stable for me. -- Terry Parker Slackware 10.1 |

Yes, you would be wrong. there are many other differences... > 1. use of RPMs in Redhat instead of tarballs in Slackware This is basically true. Although Slackware can use rpm to some degree. And nothing is stopping you from using tar'ed packages on RH. > 2. more GUI support for configuration in Redhat I suppose this is true. RH does seem to have more gui config tools. > 3. BSD-based config files in Redhat vs SysV in Slackware? I think you got this backwards. To quote from Slackware documentation : "Slackware uses the BSD-style layout for its initialization files. Each task or runlevel is given its own rc file. This provides an organized structure that is easy to maintain. There are several categories of initialization files. These are system startup, runlevels, network initilization, and System V compatibility. As per tradition, we'll lump everything else into an “other” category."
