    Slack is great for reasons other than this..

    Slack's great for setting up tight servers in which you know every program running and where it's at.
    Its also go for when you know how to set up a speed-server in which you need it up in 20 minutes.

    If you want to change anything past what's on the CD, go get the source for each program it requires. There's soo much time wasted on that... if you can find the sources for that specific module..

    Go Debian/Ubuntu. I like my package archives.
