What is de different between slackware and opensuse? I never used
slackware before and I just curious what makes slackware better than
opensuse for people who really want to learn about linux.

OpenSuSe has graphical interfaces to configure everything, while Slackware is
more like the old time Unix:es where you edit the configuration files manually.

If you just are a user (not administrating the system), then more or less
"all" Linux distributions the same, just point and click and something magical
happens as a browser opens and things don't differ much from the Unix flavors.
But of course a such user wouldn't post here and ask about the difference,
they would just be placed with what the administrator has put together and
maybe wonder why the microsoft games don't work :P
