Slackware... problems... DoEs NoT cOmPuTe!!! ERROR!! ERROR!!! *ReaperX7 suffers a BSoD and has to be rebooted.*

No seriously, there are very few issues within Slackware other than the variant source packages that often don't compile or don't like to compile without some minor tweaks. Otherwise the system is what you make of it.

New to Linux huh? You picked a good distribution to learn Linux with.

There aren't any. Same as with any other distro.

If you're using "deadlock" to mean something other than what it means (and it has a very specific meaning that pertains to thread synchronization), then you'll have to explain further.

I read 'dreadlocks' as well, and when I saw the poster was 'green14' (green half oz?) I knew it.

Deadlocks arise from processes competing for hardware resources. It is the Linux kernel that manages hardware resources and the kernel is common to all Linux distributions. So there can be no Slackware exclusive deadlocks.
We rely on the kernel developers to ensure that deadlocks do not occur. Resolving the deadlock issue is fundamental to good operating system design. If it were a problem in Linux it would be very quickly resolved.

Me too. I don't have enough hair to grow dreadlocks, does that mean I'll have to switch to another distro?
