LINUX- AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VARIOUS FLAVOURS Part-2
PART 2 will focus in the versions suitable for advanced user
In the 1st part of the post I made an introduction with LINUX for beginners as well as distros suitable for new user and as well as those which can be used in everyday life as easily as Windows as well as other consumer operating systems. This time we will focus more on the advanced versions of LINUX suitably for geeks, programmers as well as for hackers. I will start with Slackware which is my favourite and use it every day.
1) SLACKWARE
Well the golden words here would be it’s the most UNIX like distribution ever, and one of the earliest LINUX distributions to be built upon the LINUX Kernel. The Official Release of Slackware Linux was by Patrick Volkerding. And saw its 1st beta release in April 1993. Slackware is a programmer’s heaven; it includes almost all compilers and development environment we could wish for. Say it C, C++ and java, pearl. It also includes networking utilities, Web server and almost everything you will ever need straigt out of the box. Slackware gives us the option of many desktop environments as well as a stripped down version for implementation as a server.
