Slackware isn't really based on anything. It does not (or tries not to) patch any programs, they believe the upstream developers know best. I.e the linux kernel is exactly as it is released by the kernel developers. I.e kde is exactly how the kde devs wanted it to be. It has had the same project leader since day one, 18 years now. Anything you learn with slackware can usually be used on any linux distro. I would recomend less xp'ed users to try it in a virtual machine before using it as there everyday desktop. I also have an official slackware book that anyone interested is welcome to borrow. Sorry for lack of punctuation etc, this has been sent from my phone.
Thanks Gary.
