As a long-time Debian user, I'd have to throw my vote behind Slackware for the title of most UNIX-y, which is I guess a bit different from most Linux-y.

Debian got me through grad school, but Slack got me through undergrad on a hopelessly underpowered old ThinkPad

Volkerding is a legend, and Slack will always be dear to my heart.

Never experienced Slackware so I can't compare, sorry. When I got into Linux in like, 2002, I was using Mandrake before they died, and didn't hear much of Slackware at the time.

I had a friend that was a couple years older that was running it on a home web server though. Back when people ran home web servers. This dude would sit there and use the keyboard the entire time even in OSes like Windows, he memorized every goddamn shortcut and macro that exists. Had a dusty mouse next to his system almost never being used. Probably just to satisfy the BIOS self test.

There is no self test for mouse, just keyboard.
