#win for Slackware


So, I'm at the ServiceNow Knowledge 15 conference in Las Vegas. Far from home, and of course any sort of install discs, etc., that I would have to work on my laptop. I recently reloaded my laptop, dual booting Slackware and Windows 10. Well needless to say, Windows 10 crashed and then wouldn't get on any sort of network anymore. I believe it updated the network drivers while I was in a class, and I didn't have time to troubleshoot, since I was supposed to be working on a lab. After a couple blue screens, I rebooted and logged into Slackware and have been using it the past two days now. Glad I had Slackware loaded!

Just thought I'd share my experience.

Glad to hear. As for Win10... try using the 8.1 drivers. They should still work. That OS is fairly new so even with the Preview expect issues all kinds.
