I take offense to that, as a longtime slackware and redhat user, I find nothing hard about maintaining slackware in the least. This list is not the place for mudslinging.

If not then how is that any easier than typing: upgradepkg path/to/remote/or/local/upgrade/packages/*.tgz for each machine? It's slackwares package management that I find make it "easier" to keep updated with the latest releases of software. Just as you rely on rhn to supply you updates to your redhat systems, slackware users can be confident that errata and updates will be released in the patches section of all slackware mirrors thus alleviating any worries of openssh being built against different version of openssl :) If your going to rely on redhats network for your updates then slackwares mirrors should be just as reliable for updates. Since we are only allowing packages created by our distributions there are few if any differences. As for third party binary packages, linuxpackages.net keeps a nice repository of packages in separate sections for each release much as does freshrpms.net. One more thing, slackware 9.0 is including the checkinstall utility patched for better integration with slackwares own pkgtool that permits admins to easily create slackware/rpm/debian packages from source installs while updating the package database. While I did say I was offended, you have misunderstood the seriousness of my offense. I am no more offended by your puckering of slackware than I am of any other linux distribution. I had assumed (here we go again) that the inclusion of the " :) " at the end of my post showed that it was partially in jest. I am a long time user and purchaser of many different linux flavors. I admit I have spent 4 to 5 times the amount of money on linux over the years than on software from any other source. I like all the flavors of linux for different reasons and valuer redhat no less than any other.
