kitt, I am just an average home user, not in the IT biz in any stretch of
the imagination. I would try several different distros including
Slackware. You have nothing to lose by trying. Slack will require a bit
more of a time commitment than the big distros. But the trade off is that
you have a more stable system, IME.

Good Luck,
