Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave..

What good server/minimal distro you use ?

Will start to test Debian stable.

I used to be Slackware user. Then I sold my soul to RedHat, then to Debian...

I just installed Slackware after reading your message to see what is new, here are my findings:

  • There is still no auto install. I had to manually configure a lot of things using a terminal based fdisk and setup.

  • The default package manager, pkgtool, does not have a default way to auto install packages from web (something like yum, apt, up2date). It only installs from your own HDD.

  • The other tool for managing packages, slackpkg, was not installed on my system by default.

  • The default configuration for X and KDE has problems on my system. I can see the mouse move then nothing.

I can understand why somebody would like to play around with this kind of system as a fun/entertainment/puzzle solving in their free time. On the other hand, if you plan to run some kind of microservices architecture on this, then I wish you best of luck finding a new job once you are fired.
