Dear debs Could anyone using (or having used) Slackware please tell me what's (particularly) good about it? -> What particular things made you choose Slack?

And, how do they compare to (Debian GNU /) Linux ... and to each other? Which are free? (Suppose OpenBSD sounds pretty free :) I've never used anything but {Debian GNU,SuSE} / Linux and AIX. (Talking about real OS' here, so I'm not counting winhose :) Thanks Sven
