So long Slackers...
Thats right, so long slackers, i am moving onto greener pastures, ie a new and better distro.
Gentoo here i come....package management heaven *sigh* BYEEEEE :D |
I've heard lot good things about Gentoo, have fun :)
|
hehe, I give him 6 weeks, then he comes back to slack :p
Anyway! Have fun! RefriedBean |
Whew, I thought he was going to say Lindows for a second.......
Gentoo is cool though. |
yea... what if he said windows???????? lol.

No, hopefully, you find Gentoo satisfactory. I'll be glad to know if it is good. I am not as happy with my SuSE anymore - Slack ownz!! |
Slack will live forever in his heart :)

Did he say heart or farts:)

I admit it. through the countless versions of linux i haved used since i started with linux in middle '99, i *always* come back to slack and i do tend to think it is one of the easiest distros to use.
I just did a gentoo stage 2 instal which means i downloaded and compiled the base system. i configured the kernel and rebooted...yayyy it worked. then i tried downoading and compiling X overnight. It stuffed up, turned out gentoo's portage system does all its work in /var/cache My /var was only 500mb so you can guess what happened. I repartitioned to make var 1000mb and now im starting the tedious and slow process all over again :( but i can tell this is one hell of a great distro already. The only distros i would never use are redhat and debian. |
Place your bets I say he is back in max 2 weeks :D

back in '96, not only did you have to "roll you kernel", you had to "roll you own compiler" .... "gcc" forget it, all we had was "g" to compile...................... |
with talk like that...trust me, youd like gentoo.
|
I've thought about it. But with a 28K modem it would be a long process, and the CD I've seen were make for PIII and above all I have is a lowly K6/400 :)
|
Ive heard good things about gentoo as well, if i had a good reason to move away from slackware I would give it a try. The ports system is great. Works wonders on my other system running FREEBSD.
|
portege is good but the thing is compiling from source becomes a huge time consuming process after a couple of time you will be back to slack :)
