Slackware 14.0 is available and it also has a small footprint. If you choose not to install all the bloatware no g.u.i. you can probably end up with a full command line installation except for emacs in a little under a hundred meg. If you decide to install emacs, I suggest you do it using slapt-get since slapt-get will download some of the g.u.i. stuff emacs uses in terms of libraries. I would have suggested talking arch but that installation isn't for anyone unless they're really not afraid of the command line. On Sun, 11 Nov 2012, William A. Mahaffey III wrote:
