Hmmm, and I went the other way, from Slack to Debian and I absolutely
love the packaging system and Debian has it all over Slack with regard
to group permissions.  Of course, I had a heavily hacked Slack '96
system on my desktop machine until about a year wgo hen it had some Y2K
issue with sendmail (sendmail quit sending) after mid-January 2000.
Now running Potato on two boxes and haven't looked back!

I'm sure Slack 7 is much improved over Slack '96, but I ran that Slack
box over 3 years with no complaints.  I updated XFree, libc (that was
hairy!) and a bunch of other stuff in that time, but it was really time
to move on to a glibc 2.1 system and kernel 2.2.x.

Ain't Linux distributions great?
