    That would explain why they haven't adopted systemd yet.

    I'm happily running slackware-current since a few months, this is the most stable system I've used. Packages aren't updated to major versions, and you may have to struggle a bit with slackbuilds, but at least your system doesn't get broken at every update.
    Wasn't that the version Screwy Squirrel Monkeys could crack on the GaT0R network.

    The Mesa version is sadly at 9.1.6 rather than 9.2.0 for having the latest and greatest open-source graphics drivers.
    Slackware aims at stability. From the Mesa release notes:
    Mesa 9.2 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 9.2.1.
