Slackware能够算是现在最古老的且充满活力的Linux发行版，现在该发行版的最重要的宗旨是打造一份注重系统稳定性，且技术很前卫的Linux发行版，虽说您不能够在Slackware中找到很眩的GUI主题，但是我要提醒您，别被这些呼里花哨的鬼名堂弄晕了，这些只是其他的某些Linux发行版的伎俩。今天我就带大家来领略一下最新的Slackware发行版，并且打破一个神话：Slackware Linux对新手不友好！

Introduction
Slackware is one of the oldest Linux distributions alive today and focuses on stability over cutting edge features. You might not find many flashy GUI tools for Slackware, but don't let that fool you - this is one heck of a distro. Today I'm taking a look at this latest version of Slackware and explore the myth that Slackware isn't for newbies.

I have shrunk the Windows XP MCE partition that the laptop came with to the smallest possible size. This gives about 90GB free space for the test distro's to play with.

Installation and Configuration
Since it's first release in 1993, Slackware has featured a text-based installer and it hasn't changed much since then. Patrick and the rest of the Slackware developers could certainly move to a GUI installer if they wanted - there are many to choose from - but that would go against their goals of simplicity and stability. By keeping the text-based installation program, it helps keep the minimum supported system spec's down. Slackware only requires a 486 with 16MB of RAM! Props to the developers for not bloating the distro simply for bloat's sake.
