Hello!
As far as I know, meaning this is relevant only here, -10.0 and -10.1
and -10.2 of Slackware didn't come with anything special outside of
maybe Gnome (GTK) if you've added that and also installed some the
specialty features that people would want say that one that Zach
discussed for example.

It also depends on the age of your disk drive. How old is it? And who
makes it? Some of the older drives would fail spectacularly when it
comes to age and all that.
