One more thing I like about slackware is its /etc/rc.d structure,
where you have one large file doing many things, instead of having a
bunch of smaller files that you stop and start mainly in /etc/init.d
like you have in most other distros. This is only personal preference,
and there are many other people who like the way of doing things in
/etc/init.d.
