,,, Slackware Linux |
|
|
|
Slackware is by far my favorite Linux, I find it easier |
|
to use and it does not get in my way. |
|
|
|
Slackware is my main system and I have it installed on a |
|
Thinkpad W541, which I purchased in 2021. Slackware works |
|
great on the W541 and the only thing I did was upgrade |
|
the HDD to a SDD. |
|
|
|
Slackware Version 15.0 came out in Feb 2022, but since I |
|
was already on RC3, nothing needed to be done. The addition |
|
of PAM is staying out of my way and everything works |
|
great. This is another immensely stable release. |
|
|
|
At home I use it for typical things: |

BOINC |
|
===== |
|
|
|
I run BOINC on a Thinkpad W541. These are the projects |
|
I projects I run: |
|
|
|
* World Community Grid |
|
* Rosetta@home |
|
|
|
I have BOINC setup to only execute one Task at a time. |
|
This avoids overheating the CPU. This is a print |
|
of the Settings I use for BOINC: |

Development: |
|
============ |
|
|
|
I use Slackware to develop and test my own utilities and |
|
to test objects I have developed at work for use on AIX. |
|
This ensures objects I create for work will also compile |
|
and work on Slackware. |
