Excellent choice. I think that slackware is the best way to learn Linux/unix systems

I grew up on Slackware, but I'd argue that today FreeBSD (ie, a "real Unix") is a better option (mostly for its quality documentation and sane organisation).

I'm curious as to why you think slackware isn't organized

Not until they fix their default vim configuration. Arrows, pgup/pgdown, home/end should work out of box in both modes.

Or you could stop being childish and use the correct keys for navigation.

Arrows are correct because they present on my keyboard. I could wish you to stop being childish but I'd rather wish you die out along with your BSDs.

Did you know that the keys hjkl on the home row are left, up, down, and right respectively?

Slackware 12 here, on 3 machines.

You can vote on "other" now.
