there's very little difference between any disro at the end of the day, you'd get just as much info out of a slackware manual really, expect a few twiddly gui bits wouldn't be in there.

have heard a lot about slackware, seems like a quite a few people here have it.some say it,s not for beginners , others tell me that its not that much difference.running suse 7.2 and red hat 7.2. might download slackware sometime and check it out.

i am fairly new to linux, can get it installed fairly easily, surf, set up email, network, sound card, config my monitor. trying to get familiar with the shell and setup a dvd player. one thing is for sure, got lots to learn. catch ya later -got to go to work- ron
