Hello!
Well for my Slackware Intel system, I have listed in there, Slackware
11.0, the command was:

John is right. Of all of the distributions I've worked with, Slackware
does do things differently.
No.
The others do things differently: I may be wrong, but I think Slackware
predates the other current distros. See http://lwn.net/Distributions/
If A is different to B then B is different to A !
Mathematically, yes. However, slackware has been doing things its way
longer than those who chose to do those differently.
Nor I'd add does age have anything to do with it. I used Slackware 1, it
wasn't anything like current slackware either 8)
I used 2.6 or so (whatever, it came attached to a book), then RHL 3.0.3.
Things have changed there too, but it's a somewhat logical progression.
