    Is Slackware a good distro? Well, I am installing it now, no problems yet.

    Slackware 0wnz!

    I like slackware because you actaully learn linux because you have to edit the config files and things like that.

    I have been looking all over for it and can't find it. I e-mailed the LUG and no one replied

    Slackware Packages

    i though slackware never had packages it is just the source you have to compile.

    Alright, I installed it. What do I put as darkstar login? It never had me create a username. I know I can login as root. Also, how do I run KDE on it once I login?

    Try logging in as root then adding a user [man adduser]

    I think doing a 'startx' will get you to kde if you set that as your default win manager

    Not sure though, never used slack, hoping to soon

    Ask LSA.

    When I type in man adduser, it says "No manual entry for adduser"

    =Edit=
    When I type startx, something weird happens... screen goes grey, and there is some strange stuff up top

    No, i&#39;m a poser...I never even used it&#33;

    I&#39;m on the trail though

    EDIT:

    OK OK, type in /usr/sbin/adduser

    then look at the output and it should tell you the syntax

    I&#39;m still thinking about your startx problem though
