Slackware 8.0
I'm relatively new to linux (I've installed RH6.x on a desktop - not used it at all, and installed ML8.1 on a notebook and played around with it a bit). I use my notebook a lot, I am a bit unhappy with how slow ML is, windows are quite jerky and the filesystem seems a bit messy, lots of packages installed that I don't and won't ever used. I've heard Slackware is a lot lighter, but more difficult to get happening, so I'm wondering if someone can tell me exactly how hard it is to do and whether it's recommended.
Notebook details:
P3 1Ghz CPU
512Mb RAM
64Mb Video RAM
DVD/CDR/W combined
Lucent winmodem - oh yes, but I've got an external as well.
IR ports, IEEE etc etc.
Thanks,
e.
