Bye Bye Redhat ... Need slackware!


I have redhat 9 install. Good OS but the problem is that I feel that it going to be fazed out cause of the whole making money... But anyways

I want to know if I install Slackware if it will be easy cause I already have partions define (from Redhat) and I dont want to mess around with it yet cause I might mess up my fat32 and lose my data.

Reason one tired of installing From RPM and they don't work...

Time to step it up and start installing from source...

Slackware install will see your existing partitions and give you the chance to define
them how you want.

It's really not as hard to get installed as you've probably heard...
