Here's Fileplanet's info:

Description

Slackware Linux is a complete 32-bit multitasking "UNIX-like" system. It's currently based around the 2.4 Linux kernel series and the GNU C Library version 2.2.5 (libc6). It contains an easy to use installation program, extensive online documentation, and a menu-driven package system. A full installation gives you the X Windows System, C/C++ development environments, Perl, networking utilities, a mail server, a news server, a web server, an ftp server, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, Netscape Communicator, plus many more programs. And Slackware Linux can run on 386 systems all the way up to the latest x86 machines.


Basically, it's another distro (that I think is half-way decent). I actually think it's cool to see Fileplanet offering this. Hopefully, they'll attempt to make gamers everywhere more aware of ALL OS options available to them.

I read about this a few weeks ago on /. (Slashdot for those that dont comprehend) and it seemed interesting. I meant to ask bob what he thought, but I never got around to it.

It's just another Distro.

Slackware is just another distro. I think that it is better then RedHat and Mandrake. But it's all personal opinon, Try it, see if you like it.

Drivers may be difficult thou, no modconf i think.
