Trying out on my old laptop today for the first time in forever. Impressions? It's exactly as I remember it 20+ years ago, except now everything works out of the box.

Two things I noticed right off: no systemd (or related dependencies) anywhere in sight, and LILO.
I've always been irritated by the systemd-ification of the linux ecosystem, so it's always nice when I don't see it, and I've never really understood how to work with GRUB, so LILO is really appreciated!

    Slackware gets a lot of hate for being "outdated", but at first look, most packages aren't really any older than something like debian stable, and several like xscreensaver are much newer.

      Nice! Slackware really has that timeless feeling 🙂
