,,,                   Slackware Linux
       
        Slackware is by far my favorite Linux, I find it easier
        to use and it does not get in my way.
       
        Slackware is my main system and I have it installed on a
        Thinkpad W541, which I purchased in 2021.  Slackware works
        great on the W541 and the only thing I did was upgrade
        the HDD to a SDD.
       
        Slackware Version 15.0 came out in Feb 2022, but since I
        was already on RC3, nothing needed to be done.  The addition
        of PAM is staying out of my way and everything works
        great.  This is another immensely stable release.
       
        At home I use it for typical things:

        BOINC
        =====
       
        I run BOINC on a Thinkpad W541.  These are the projects
        I projects I run:
       
           * World Community Grid
           * Rosetta@home
       
        I have BOINC setup to only execute one Task at a time.
        This avoids overheating the CPU.  This is a print
        of the Settings I use for BOINC:

        Development:
        ============
       
        I use Slackware to develop and test my own utilities and
        to test objects I have developed at work for use on AIX.
        This ensures objects I create for work will also compile
        and work on Slackware.
