I don't know... I don't think I am ready just yet for Slackware, I will just add it to my collection of Linux cds, lol for when I feel like using it.

To be honest. Slackware is not hard at all once you get past fdisk. I am an experienced user with fdisk so it was not a problem for me. And a n00b can install slackware if they only use "cfdisk" instead of fdisk.

The top of line of all distros is Gentoo. There is no question about it. You can take any distro and make your own. But there is nothing like the pure satisfaction of knowing that you compiled and installed not only your own kernel, but all the ebuilds as well.

Your glitch was merely a problem with Xfree86. All it takes is the right driver and you'll be running a gui in slackware in no time.

I recommend Slackware for all n00bs.

Plus, with Slackware, you learn how to edit config files and how linux works

I wish I had Slackware
