Slackware is the true Unix of Linux distros

(subject is quoted from the vector linux website with the small edit that I replaced "distributions" with "distros" to fit in the character limited subject line)

What exactly does that mean? More importantly to me, how does slackware differ from normal linux distributions? What differences will I see?

this thread is destined for failure. slackware is just another distro, but everyone likes being a zealot so everyone you ask will tell you that THEIR distro is THE BEST EVAR and everything else sucks. it's all bullshit. get whatever you're comfortable using, they all basically do the same thing, but with varying difficulty and techniques.
