I suggest you keep Slackware Cool

Why would you want another distro anyway? That tharr is crazy-talk! Wink

i heard that slackware is the distro with the most options so i suggest you keep it too

Screw slackware, get something debian based like Debian or Ubuntu or Knoppix!

IMHO, Slackware owns. But, Gentoo is also a good distro, if you're prepared to install a lot manually and not have a flashy installer. Installing Gentoo can be a bit hard, but it's definatly a great learning experience. Smile

Gentoo is, by far, one of the nicest distros I've come across. It's a bit painful to set up, but once you're past the initial installation, you're pretty much good to go. And if you have an internet connection, that's even better: when you use emerge, it grabs everything you need and doesn't bug you about dependancies that you don't have yet.

Debian-based? What the crap are you talking about???

It's Slack all the way Cool

I find that it really depends on the person what they are doing.

I love slackware and use it as a desktop linux. Though while I run it on my pcs I have really like Ubuntu for my laptop as more things just simply just work right off the bat with little or no configurations. All my normal windows only functions have been mapped it is very nice.

But if you like slackware stay with slackware.

Ubuntu is nice.
Some people have problems with screen resolution, time, and things like that, but there seems to be solution to them all, and they're being slowly but surely fixed.

I prefer Gentoo, and if your not able to do the install on your own. You have some learning to do. I see the Gentoo install as more of a test to qualify to use Gentoo, and I like that.

Sort of completely off-topic, but I'm probably getting DSL soon (goodbye 56k ^^) -- this means I can run whatever OS I want, and that will be Slack all the time Cool
