A few questions about Slackware and EvilEntity

*Bump*
Sorry about that, but im dying to know the answer.

They use the same software any other distro uses, except they include Enlightenment instead of KDE and Gnome for a desktop environment. It's not much more than taking an existing distro, installing Enlightenment and creating our own theme for it.

Oh yes, I forgot the golden rule, Linux A has the same secret super code that Linux B has. Ok when the time comes, I'll take a leap of faith.

I love the Evil Entity site, but EE seems so premature, whereas Redhat has been in development for many years. What seems interesting is the EE GUI, alternate GUI concepts are always interesting.
Sure EE may be easy to use and easy to install, but isn't there areas that it will suffer in, because it hasn't been in development for a longtime like Redhat? Or can it do EVERYTHING that Redhat can do?
What about default boot up times, configuration(being able to optimize it without being a pro), and speed?

actually i believe Evil Entity has had more development time then RedHat because it is based on slackware. Just the GUI stuff and the EvilE ackage tool hasnt, but you can use slackware TGZ packages in it anyway.

Slackware was started slightly before Red Hat, but that certainly doesn't mean more man hours of development time have been put into it. I see EE being to Slackware what Mandrake is to Red Hat.
