While I didn't start with Slackware as my first 'distro' (I started with SLS),
I still think that if you actually take the time, Slackware would
be a better distro to learn from. But that's my $0.02.

That said, a lot of packages are so 'in tune' (for lack of a better word) with
those package-managers, it is a little more difficult to get stuff
built. (Recently, tried to install MongoDB on Slackware 15.0... it
was a pain. Even with Slackbuilds.org.)

Ditto here.
