That's how I got into Slackware. I tried a slackware-live-cd back before 
it was called SLAX. I loved it, ordered Slackware 9.1 CDs from 
http://www.edmunds-enterprises.com/linux/index.php, installed it on my 
machine and have been very satisfied with it ever since. Slackware is 
solid, fast, and easy to maintain once you learn the Slackware way of 
doing things. Don't expect pretty GUI things, just simple, solid and 
reliable.
