Slackware is a great way to learn Linux without many 'isms to worry about. Slackware 4.x/5.x was my first distro to try on my own and I used it for a very long time. It taught me the fundamental basics of what I needed to know about compiling software and it's dependencies. It's something I do recommend to people who want to aggressively learn Linux without the overhead of learning how a specific OS does something. Granted I haven't used Slackware since 9.1 so I have no idea how much has changed since then... -- > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
