It is hard to get Mepis since all the sites seem to busy.

But... It really rocks...

Take the time to find it and download it...

3.3 will make you a believer...

The support on freenode is the best of any distro...

If it is Linux, I am a Slacker all the way! It is the only OS that does what I tell it to and nothing else! I have already converted three Linux Users to it. We all agree "once you go slack you never go back"

Granted, this program does cost a considerable amount of money depending on what you want...however, there are ways of getting it otherwise. (not that I would).
I used to use slackware for about a year I think.. The package management systems worse then RPM !!

Having said that Its a great distro for leaning about linux gentoo seems to be a tad bit complicated for some biginners (the install isn't really a nice introduction to linux) slackwares install is exceedingly simple yet allows you a little freedom, Distros like fedora core, suse etc. are very gui orientated, witch is ok if you just wish to use the operating system or are already familure with linux, but in all honesty arnt the best distros for learning about linux.

also they seem to be overly bloated, slackwhere fits on a cd suse fits on a dvd .

I must say I wouldn't want to use slackware for a primary box since its a damn annoyance installing new packages, Unlike gentoo/debian witch is easy as pie

Gentoo and Ubuntu have a very good support network, I bleave its alot better then slackwares.
