We all have our preferences.As an example; I use Debian and Fedora but my roomate uses Windows 7- From what I'm comprehending from what your telling me; Slackware sounds very stable and superior in functionality and performance in regard to it's own management tools. |

For other people having to resolve dependencies manually is a no-go and outweighs by far the advantages of the simple and straightforward package management. The same is true for the actual configuration of the distro, someone used to (and wanting to) configure the system using GUI dialogs may possibly not want to use plain textfiles for configuration. For me Slackware is the best distribution out there, it fits my style of working with the system perfectly, so for me it is superior. If it is superior for you can only you decide, so trying it is the best option you have and you have nothing to loose if you do so (but maybe you win a new favorite distro and the Slackware community a new member). |

I'm currently running Fedora 17 but will soon have to do a fresh install of Fedora 18. At that time I may not even install it and consider Slackware instead. Agreed; I have nothing to loose by trying it- But first I must learn more about Slackware(read the documentation) to feel at home with it's fresh install and read the all of the release notes and anything else I can get my hands on. I'm a strong beliver in preparation before the actually performance. I re-searched Fedora for 4 weeks before I installed it and I'm glad I did- Wonder what that zip file of future_computer's consist of? He would use yum to unzip that file right? Like: Code:
unzip file.zip |
Yum is a package manager, it is not used for anything that is not a package.

Looking for a cups driver and doing some reading to help you. http://www.fuduntu.org/wiki/index.php/Tutorials Here's the forum for your disto. I'll look in there and see what is posted. http://www.fuduntu.org/forum/ |
Look in Applications Menu> Administration> Printing and go through the Printing Wizard, set up your printer and see if that helps.
Look in your /usr/lib/cups and see if you have 'gutenprint' Gutenprint is a very high quality package of printer drivers for Ghostscript and CUPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenprint To print a page try running: Quote:

As of now only the 2/3 distributions ran on my computers for months and Fuduntu is one of them.
Simplicity of Gnome2 with rolling releases (lastest software) and snappier performance, I am impressed. |
I am using Zorin now, I installed it on a USB3.0 external drive, it runs very fast.
|
Yes, Zorin is nice. I downloaded it and tried a Live CD a few months ago-
Enjoy your new Zorin future_computer-;) |
Fuduntu have GNENOME GUI, even though it is FEDORA based linux distribution, it is more user friendly like Ubuntu distribution
