I've used it briefly. It's good, but you have to manually manage packages, dependencies, etc.
Michael Walker
Used it for a while. Comfy stuff.
Joseph Diaz
like it's aware of the slack
William Nguyen
The mother fucking titties
Julian Lee
they should rethink the sets a little

Last I used it, it felt like a Linux distro trapped in the 1990s. I think they've added package management since, but it is still probably the closest to vanilla Linux you can get.

[as a full distro, and not like.. Linux From Scratch]
Evan Lopez
you can easily use it as a LFS installer too if you make a list of LFS packages

I'm using it now. Been using it for the best part of 18 months.
There's a steep learning curve but once you're over that it's comfy and stable as fuck. I update once a week or so, there's no point updating any more frequently since Slackbuilds get updated every Saturday.
