NiTeFlY Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) Hi all, Just a quick thank you to everyone on these boards (esp the Linux one), thanks to you I have finally found a Linux Distro I am happy with. Over the past couple of months I have gone back and forth from RH9 to MDK9.1 to Fedora back to RH9 again, and I could never seem to get away with any of them. Anyway, after reading many posts singing the praises of Slackware, I decided (relectuntly) to give it a go. At first I was horified to be left with nothing but the Bash after the initial install. But further reading and trial and error, I decided that this was the one for me. I think it is the fact that none of the WindowsManagers come "enhanced" like the ones with RH etc.. so I felt I had more controll over the actual customisation. The fact I was left to fend for myself so to speak, helped me a great deal, no fancy GUI to hold my hand and configure the likes of X and mount points. I am still very unsure on what to do to get most things to work, but at least when I do do it, I will have done it by my self. Thanks again guys, and no doubt Ill be on here again soon asking more "newbie" questions. Matthew Edited January 7, 2004 by NiTeFlY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
