Of course it will make you cooler. I just installed it like 2 weeks ago, and I am already growing more chest hair, my car automaticlly washes itself, the chicks call me twice a day, and everyone who sees me tells me I am cool.

MasterC, now that you have installed Slackware8.1, you are cooler than before, and Sexy!

Yeah, it comes with RPM if you choose it. During a slack install you will get to a point where you can choose to install everything "all" or you can do it group by group, or verbosely package by package. There are like 6 other choices, but those might be the ones you will want to try. Half the fun though (to me) of switching to Slack was to get away from the RPM lifestyle. I was feeling like I was just doing click throughs like I used to in Winbloze (Example: Double click the install.exe, click YES, click next, click next, click Finish, and yes, restart). Now anytime I install anything, I do a ./configure --help to see my options.
OH and setup, not too bad coming from RH/Mandy land. I didn't have much trouble, just a few (major) mouse problems (USB), and X wasn't ready out of the box for me. But that's one 'eye-opener' for me that I wasn't really seeing what my OS was doing. But now, things are going much better. I would suggest switching. Plus, It comes with KDE3, although I have already installed flux and switched to that by default
Almost forgot, yes, it comes with wmaker
Good luck!
