Dear OP, what you try to do? To hack a network from neighborhoods and to intercept their Facebook conversations? Or to proxy their bank transactions?

hey I think your comment is very childish, also people speak as they think, at no time I asked for help to hack or anything like that I am a beginner and install wifislax because I saw it in Spanish but following advice from people more mature than you, from here of the forum install salixos, why I was reading that the most interesting is slackware.

Damn, I have 50 without one freaking week.

If I do not matured yet myself until now, I guess I am a lost cause.

Jhosep,

I believe Vader was "trying" to be funny. I don't think he meant to insult you.

Keep in mind that Slackware will have a very large learning curve for a beginner. If you get stuck help is available

That being said, if you feel overwhelmed there are other distributions that (IMO) are better suited for a beginner to cut their teeth on (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc)

When I started I was 13 yo, found Slackware (9 I think) with a magazine and installed on my dad's old laptop following the magazine's instructions. Without internet I went on reading all the documentation provided with Slack, learnt how to compile and install sources distributed with magazines and spent a good 5 years with my first linux box...

So, after 17 years, I can quote:

Please do not post your personal email address. You now become a target for spammers.

In addition, this is a public forum and the intent is for all answers to benefit all members which is why asking for private help is discouraged.

I agree with the first two sentences but disagree that Ubuntu or Mint or any other distro for that matter is somehow easier. at the very least once installed. The beauty of Slackware is that IT teaches us because it doesn't hide stuff nor "muddy the waters" with background processes that make it difficult to understand what went wrong and what went right. That is essentially why Vanilla is Clear and Simple. Start adding "flavors" and things get complicated.
