And another thing!

Sorry.

I found the reference I was looking for.  Check out the latest Linux
distribution howto by Eric S. Raymond for comments similar to my own. 
However, it appears that Slackware is going to incorporate redhat RPM
technology "in the next release" so it might still be in the game.

According to the HOWTO, the last freeze date for slackware was August
1996.  So the other two distributions are somewhat ahead of it, if being
absolutely up-to-date appeals.
