 The only hardware problem I've run into is the sound. I've been unable to find any open source drivers for the NeoMagic hardware. The only one that's worked so far is the Open Sound System at opensound.com The install works fine, I do have to go in and manually configure the DMA channels, the installer swaps them.

 Just an update, I've since upgraded to slack 10.1 and have been staying current with driverloader (now up to 2.27). Driverloader and Realtek XP drivers are still the absolute best combination I've used, the install works flawlessly. I've also automated the configuration of the interface, keeping things so I can switch between the wireless interface or 10/100 card I have: In /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf I added the ESSID and KEY for my wireless access point, and this will automagically configure using DHCP when I pop in the wireless card. I can remove the card and throw in my 10/100 card and it will also use the same settings and configure using DHCP. I sure didn't want to pay money for Driverloader, but for $35 (yes that's for the card and Driverloader) I guess I can't complain too loudly.
