So my son tells me that Slackware is the way to go. I don't know one from the next so it's all good to me. I'm an escapee from the world of micro$HAFT. I did a lot of programming back when BASIC was the only choice. I repartitioned my HD and I was off.

First, I used a live CD to repartition my HD. I'm not the only user on this computer so I have to leave the other OS intact. I tried with Slackware to figure out how to change my partitions, but I was scared I would wreak something....
