I am also a died in the wool Slackware fan . But I've had
reasonable success with installing redhat 5.0 on my alpha-
station200 . I followed (somewhat) the Redhat Installation
Guide & the Alpha Addenda , My only beef with redhat is its
/etc/rc.d/init.d/'all those scripts that require other scripts'
startup directory .

I've heard tell of another (? Debian | SuSe ?) that is -very-
slackware like, although it uses the RPM facility to install
everything .
