Well, considering the announcement today and it's inherent similarity (as in 
the progenitor) to the "original" SuSE, I'm seriously looking at.....  
Slackware 11.0. What kinda hit me between the eyes is the update/conf 
program.   Gee!  It looks alot like.... YaST (the first version).  I'm just 
wondering about pkg/tgz files and how package management works and how large 
or small the repositories are.   Anyone have any experience with Slackware 
they're will to share?  

TIA, Curtis.
