I stand by my statement, if one wants to learn how linux works, use slackware, its the only system that allows you to install what "you" want and not what the system wants, try that with all other distro's. Try installing debian, redhat, mandrake, suse on a system with low memory. Slackware can be installed on an old machine with 8MB, others cant. Slackware is operator dependant, that means configure things like X yourself if you want too, most all other distro's do it for you, so you see with those other distro's you "dont" learn linux as good as you do when one uses Slackware period. > > Best Regards. > > Jose. -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
