Actually, it is.

Slack WILL play mp3s.  It will play audio CDs.  What it won't play is
encrypted DVDs.  That's the plain ol' movie DVD you get from yer video
store.  It WILL copy some DVDs, like guitar instructional videos, cuz
those are un-encrypted.  But Slack lacks a lotta multimedia support.
Both VLC and ffmpeg are huge pkg's and require a lotta depenze support
which slack jes does not have.  Even though Slack includes a working
version of audacious, an xmms clone, it does not support audacity, a
program that allows you to record mp3 files you may be listening to
from an audio CD or youtube.  Get it?  You can record from yer own box
and not hafta patch one box into another.  But, that's a 2-3 doz pkg
upgrade.  Inkscape!  Same thing. Requires ffmpeg.  Check Slacky and
count the depenze for that pig.

Hey.  I'm not complaining.  I LOVE Slackware.  Been using it
exclusively for 13 yrs.  Learned a lot.  How to compile code.  How to
admin a Linux box.  How to admin a network.  Monster cool!!  NOw, I'm
old and wanna draw and paint and watch crappy movies.  Slack sucks for
that!  Time to pick a distro that does what I want.  Isn't that what
Linux is all about?  ;)
