Hey, I been around watching the forums for long but only today I registered nice to be in here.
I wanted to share my thoughts on Slackware 10.2 as new user.
I been around trying linux distros for long I tried: KNOPPIX, Suse, Fedora, Mandriva, FreeBSD (I know it's unix),Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Mepis and Debian.
I went throw all of those but never ran them for more than 3 weeks somewhere things where missing although I think Debian was the best of them, I couldn't stay with them they were too heavy with no need or reminded me windows too much in the run for easy and new home users (what not always make it simple), I went to try linux to stop my war with windows every day to tweak it and make it run better (I hate stuff I can't control).
I stayed away from Slackware because I heard many times "It's too hard" "Not for newbies" and stuff like that, I'm linux n00b but not in comp's and windows I'm sorry I didn't install Slackware before the past week I think I broke Slack many times but never something big, few times broke KDE, some models and settings but after hard thinking and reading I went throw that.
Now after only a week with Slack I know I'm going to keep it still with dual boot with Win Xp but that's cause I'm not the only user of this comp, I still working throw few issues I got but nothing big I even find the fun in it.
Thanks for all the stuff going in here it helped me a lot and sure will keep helping in the future.
