I have to agree. My first go at using linux was RH6 that came w/ a book I bought. I barely got it installed, and soon got tired of it, and went back to using windows for a while. More recently I tried nearly every distro that offers a free download and settled on Slackware. It just works. I haven't really had problems with anything.
Are you joking? The windows start menu lumps everything to gether in one big list. How could that possibly be better than having programs sorted into categories? Install the same number of programs on windows and see how the start menu looks. Windows usually has less than half of the number of programs. Maybe you're saying there's too much on linux, but you are free to remove any programs you don't use.
My second choice is probably freebsd. Debian was cool, but sometimes apt would just hose my system. I prefer to make my own decisions about what software to uninstall. I find that swaret on slackware is a little more sane to deal with. Plus I have an easier time compiling packages off sourceforge w/ slack, not sure why.
I tried to install SUSE when 9.0 came out and gave up when it wasn't done installing after 4 hours. I might have liked it who knows? I'll stick with slackware thanks.

What benefit will there be from this that can't be had from either grep or the "find files" that's already in the KDE menu/
Man good choices. Dreamscape was one of my fav's
Another reason I'm glad I don't use windows.
not smbmount, smbmnt
You can chmod +s smbmnt & smbumount

I don't think windows will run on a mainframe.
I have Photoshop 6 running pretty well on my slack laptop with wine 20040716, but couldn't get Photoshop 7 running.

also stored on an SD card
That IS pirating, the windows EULA does not allow that.
Yahoo breaks 3rd party clients on a regular basis. I have a netscape account, which is AIM, as a backup.
I get a javascript alert that says "aim is not a registered protocol"
Kind of looks like the slackware installer to me.
I only use firefox. What render problems? I haven't been able to get IE to run on slackware anyway.
The new website is SO bad. Doom III
Why would they allow public access on the same network as sensitive info. I really can't believe that's true.
More likely they were the first to offer Dell some sort of kickback.
What is ICH6?
Does anyone know if crossover will/does run with X.org on slack. Photoshop stopped working on wine when I upgraded to slack 10 rc1.

Yes it was in the changelog.

Yeah I gave up on Gentoo also. Other than that I've tried just about every distro that offers a free download, and still keep coming back to slack.
