• What are your thoughts on Slackware the most Unix like of the Linux distros and how would you compare it to your BSD of choice?

  Most BSD-like GNU-system I know of would probably be CRUX though, but I haven't used that one in almost as long time. Source: about 2 years ago

  I suggest you take a look at CRUX instead. Source: about 2 years ago

• What is the best semi rolling distro?

• Looking for a unique distro!

  Crux was the inspiration for Arch and is still keeping it simple 20+yrs on. Source: over 2 years ago

• How can i make my own linux distro?

  Gentoo will teach you a lot about Linux. I have never used it, so I cannot speak from experience. I currently use CRUX, which is a semi-rolling system. Arch Linux was inspired by it once upon a time. It uses ports that are remarkably transparent and easy to make. The whole handbook can be read in an hour. Source: over 2 years ago

• Random reboot issue

  My installation is running crux 3.6.1 , with kernel 5.15.8 (I compiled the last version to see if that would fix my issues. Nope). Source: over 2 years ago

• Question: about slackware and perhaps another issue

  Slackware never was minimalist. My "minimal" Slack install with only xfce and base packages occupies 9,7gb of disk space. If you want minimal os, try CRUX http://crux.nu. Source: about 3 years ago
