Distributions with speakup modified kernels?

[Ryan Mann]

I like Debian's package management, but sometimes their packages seem a
little more out of date than most distributions and I like the way
Slackware does their RC scripts better than Debian.  For example, in
slackware, if you want to run a program on start up all you have to do is
put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but not with Debian.

I've used it and don't like it, and a lot of the people I've talked to from various places are starting to become unhappy with it. Then again, a lot of people still like it, so your choice I guess. I've heard similar things about fedora as well.
