-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One more thing I like about slackware is its /etc/rc.d structure, where you have one large file doing many things, instead of having a bunch of smaller files that you stop and start mainly in /etc/init.d like you have in most other distros. This is only personal preference, and there are many other people who like the way of doing things in /etc/init.d.
