Maybe the rest of your life. I say this with respect and admiration for
Slackware devs and users, but the last time I tried Slac two things
really struck hard:

1.  Setting up Slack is HARD work. 

2.  There is a big difference between getting it installed with the
functions/hardware/software you need working, and getting it installed
with the functions/hardware/software you need working correctly and
efficiently. 

In many ways, SLackware is the anti-K/Ubuntu. I don't say this as a
criticism...Slack's devs are very upfront about what they are trying to
accomplish...but no one would ever accuse Slac of doing too much
handholding for the new and or ignorant. It's geekware, in the best
sense of the word.
