i'm a happy slackware linux user since 2o12.  it's stable, simple,
very well documented, and with a great community.  something to
consider when using this distribution for the first time is
that it needs some implication at start.  slackware comes with
a very basic system configuration because the devteam takes for
granted that you *will* customize it the way you want. 
therefore you'll learn a lot about gnu/linux and your system.

you'll find more informations about this distribution at:

 - http://www.slackware.com
 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/slackware

if you need help, please visit:

 - http://www.slackbook.org
 - https://docs.slackware.com/
 - https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/
 - the newsgroup alt.os.linux.slackware
 - ##slackware on irc.freenode.net

here are some slackware mirrors of interests:

 - /pub/linux/ditributions/slackware/ on ftp.lip6.fr
 - /pub/slackware/ on ftp.osuosl.org
 - /slackware on ftp.slackware.uk

and if you're using slackpkg(8), don't forget to check
/etc/slackpkg/mirrors for local servers.

and finally some third-party slackbuilds and packages:

you read the scripts and modify them accordingly to your needs.
