RE: Considering a distro switch.

>Why are you switching?

The main reason I am considering switching is ease of maintenance and
updates for the noncritical portions of the system. Critical portions will
still need more attention and maintenance/compilation by hand of course.
Debian also seems to have more available documentation and a more active
user community. That's not to say there aren't a lot of good people out
there running Slackware, they just tend to be more closeted and less
active(not sure if that's because it runs so well or....more likely they are
just a more self reliant type user as Slackware requires so less active...).
That said Debian is still reasonably fast and much like Slackware does not
have a lot of nonstandard modifications so far as I can tell and any that it
does have are Free and open to use elsewhere should I end up a user on
another *nix OS that I have no admin control over.
