Such as?

slave:
SUCH as it actually lets you compile programs without errors unlike a certain distro that begins with an R and ends with a T.

flap:
And what about Red Hat makes it more difficult to compile programs?

Calum:
all it'sfiddly nonstandard shit.

and the fact thatred hat's fiddlynonstandard shit has become the new standards means that other distros such as suse and mandrake have their own fiddlynonstandard shit that is incompatible (but only just) with red hat's and each other's fiddlynonstandard shit.

slackware sticks to a no nonsense approach. nothing nonstandard, everything designed to fit in with the normal unix way of doing stuff.

re: packages: discover the commands installpkg and pkgtool, and go and download the program pkhtool2 also.

and go to tchelinux and linuxpackages.net for all your package needs.
