The best way to answer your questions is go ahead and try it out. I would re-partition my hard disk with gparted or parted. You might want to try a Slack derived live CD like Slax or Zenwalk to check for hardware compatability, and to partition.
Some idea on how experienced you are would help us guide you better. Java is available on Slackware but I am not well versed on the matter, someone else ought to shed some light on this matter. Chris |
thanx very much chris

Hi angelm4
It's hard to be sure about your hardware, but support for intel graphics is good. As Chris says, just go ahead and try installing it, but make sure to read the docs first though - see onebuck's sticky post at the top of this forum. I code in Java on my slackware 12.1 laptop - no issues at all. Slackware comes with jdk6, though you have to get it from the slackware/slackware-12.1/extra/jdk-6 on the CD/DVD or one of the online mirrors and then install it: Code:
installpkg jdk-6u6-i586-3.tgz Good luck! |

Yes, "linux." If any distribution works, Slackware will too. Quote:
