Slackware 14.1.

No, it's the African word for "I've got better things to do than spend a day setting up an OS for each of my computers and compiling software for them"

Someone doesn't know how to use the Slackware install scripts and create custom packages for it. :)

What can I say? Sometimes the worm just looks so good. :)

Well, you know what they say about ASSumptions.

If you don't want to build additional stuff for your Slackware desktop, just use this:

Well, I do use Ubuntu based distributions quite a bit. However, I have Salix Fluxbox on an ancient Thinkpad R31 (from 2003 I'd guess) with Intel video, and it actually runs reasonably well. I can play YouTube videos with smtube set to 480 as a max resolution. When it had only 256 MB of RAM quite a few Web sites would crash the browser, but after I upped it to 1 GB that got much better.
I used to use Slackware for everything, but I admit that the huge Debian and Ubuntu repositories have made me a bit lazy. I generally have something running Slackware still, though. If you do need to compile something then Slackware is the most reliable distribution to do it on in my experience because everything about it is so standard.
