The oldest [LinuxDistribution|LinuxDistributions] still around and based on the idea that the SysAdmin knows what they're doing and doesn't need handholding from configuration tools. It aims to be as close to Unix as possible and complies with the published Linux standards like the FileSystemStandard. Stability is another high priority. The PackageManagement format is as simple as it gets - plain old [TarBall]s of the files to install, plus an installation script. The bottom line is a distro that requires some legwork at installation time, but is just about unbreakable and practically never fails installing at least to the point where you have a workable system in your hands http://www.slackware.com SlackwareHelp
