I was using redhat 9.0 until I switched back to slackware. using
Redhat for a while did help me get familiarize with linux, may be that
it was because I had a book on linux which used redhat as its
refference.

it would be better if people (people can relate to just anyone) used
redhat suse or mandrake(from what i've read mandrake doesnt live upto
expectiations) rather than sticking to Windows.

the only problem i have with slackware is there website. its not
specific and not descriptive enough. ie if you wanna look up something
ie a package u gotta search by its package name ie kdeuint-134-35 and
so on instead of if ur looking for the kworldclock if u typed clock
nothing comes up but toys yes. and if ur new to slackware most people
would mess up things than come up with solutions . no gripes but its
true
