From: jemenake@trumpet.aix.calpoly.edu (Joe Emenaker) Subject: What's the diff between SLS, MCC, Slackware and Debian? Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1993 17:31:49 GMT
With all of the furor over SLS and all recently, I have a question as
to the differences between all of these new "distributions" going
around.
You see, when I first found out about Linux, I first just got copies
of the kernel and all of the utilities and all. I also got the little
readme file that detailed how I was supposed to run fdisk and then
mkfs and all that crap. It never did work for me.
That's why I was pleased when I found SLS, because it installed itself
for me and I was up and running. <shwing!>.
Now that there all of these competing distributions out there now, I
was curious what the difference between all of them are. The last time
I checked the faq, it just mentioned that SLS was a little easier to
install than the others of that time.
Specifically, what are the perks offered by each of the
distributions?
