There's been a lot of negativity on this board lately, so here is a tale of slackware success. My new job as a software developer has a very interesting workflow. There is a linux server which has the build tools and everyones home drives, and a solaris server running NIS to allow everyone to login and mount the network drives through NFS.

It's been around for ages and no one really knows how to set up a new developer environment from scratch. There is a Ubuntu 9.04 virtual machine image that gets passed around which has been pre-configured. AFAIK newer Ubuntu releases dont even support NIS.

So i read a slackware NIS client tutorial, copied some config files over and intalled it all onto a Slackware 14.1 virtual machine. After about 15 minutes I had it all working and no longer need to use Ubuntu 9.04! Slackware had everything I needed to get setup out of the box. So heres a photo of my new development environment!

Sounds like something way less tedious than dealing with an AD domain and the PAM mess.

I'm brand new to slackware, but I figured I'd give it a shot on an old, beat-down Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 I had lying around. Gotta say, I like it a lot so far and I have just about everything working (the exception being the touchscreen, which only sort of works at the moment).

I have sort of a pseudo OS 9 look going on at the moment, since it's the perfect clunky look for a very clunky laptop.. and of course I had to make myself an appropriate wallpaper to really complete the experience.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll be doing more lurking than posting.

Nice and clean.
Seeing that you use the open source radeon driver, I would strongly recommend to upgrade your kernel, a lot of progress has been made since the 3.10 kernel.
