Yes. As much as I appreciate Slackware's bone-headed philosophy, the 
installer, the simple startup scripts, the general Keep-It-Simple 
approach and the overall robustness, the absence of PAM has been a real 
showstopper for me.

Until now the only way to setup centralized authentication and roaming 
profiles is to use a combination of NIS and NFS, which is far from ideal 
in terms of security.

I suggested the inclusion of PAM in a public poll in the Slackware forum 
on LinuxQuestions.org, which got mixed results. About half of the 
Slackware users welcomed the idea, the other half got pretty angry, and 
the result turned into a flamefest.

The idea had been to somewhat open up Slackware to the enterprise world, 
but as far as I can reckon, the word "enterprise" curiously enough seems 
to have a bad taste for a significant portion of Slackware's user base.

After this heated exchange, I decided to take a pragmatic approach and 
choose a more appropriate tool as a base for my business. So here I am.

Cheers,

Niki

PS: after a few years on LQ, the general tone on the CentOS mailing list 
seems like the Alban Berg Quartet after Slayer at Hellfest. :o)
