Dears members of linux fourm and guest

I have been using linuxquestions for a couple of months i am learning many new thing every day. right now i have slackware 10 and fedora2, fedora on my laptop and slac on my old p1 desktop. As you aready see i don't use desktop pretty much because it slow 233Mzh p1. latly i am getting sick of trieding of using fedora2, because there are too many program that i don't even use, and the menu look wack in kde, and fedora2 is use 4 cd damm. the best window manager i like is fluxbox mosty i like to work in command line. i have cable modem with 5MHZ I could download anything very fast. I only want one cd that include linux and X window because i could choose which i want. i don't want to use kde nor gnone because it feel a baby can use it, like point and click just like in window. i like to edit file.

before i use college linux with one cd, it rocks it has the program I need, it was base on slackware but the kernel version was old. can anybody point me out which linux is best me i am not a newbie.

Life and death when it comes, it comes

the first disc of slack 10
perhaps debian...

slackware,to my knowlege, has only kde and gnome on the second disc... the first disc should be all you want...

haven't really used debian. but I've installed it.. and that's pretty much what I got from the first disc. if I remember correctly

how about gentoo does anybody know it ok to intall on laptop

I use Gentoo, it's a great distro. It'd install fine on a laptop but it's much easier to do with a network connection, then you just setup portage and download everything from that rather than a CD.

i don't have a cd burnder on my laptop but i do have a cdburner in xp , i want to format fc2 and install gentoo, i don't want a live cd.
