Take away all of the expensive upgrades. Take away all of the updates and large update files. Take away all of the hype behind the brand name. Remove all of these factors from your operating system and what do you have? The not-so-obvious answer is Slackerware.

Slackerware is an open source application that may not be known to many people, but it is a very simply operating system that is free. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles that has made Microsoft popular, but it doesn’t need them.

This great thing about this software is that users have the ability to have a voice. They can input their ideas and inspire improvements in development. The software loads much quicker, and it doesn’t take 2GB or 3GB to run efficiently. It is simple because it doesn’t take up the entire hard drive. It’s just the right size for those that are looking for an OS for an older system.

The fact that the software is easier to use makes it one of the best open source tools on the market. Consumers may be loyal to Microsoft, but this is only because many of them do not know about Slackerware.
