This is the first Slackware distro I've tried as well. I was mainly looking for a speedy lightweight distro for some older hardware. OpenMotif (2.3.3) and libXP (1.0.1) do come up in the package list on VL-7. For some reason the package manager was the hardest thing to find...but its there - GSlapt.

The only thing I have run into was getting the Citrix client to work. Since it is only available as a binary, it has some pretty stringent dependencies, openmotif and libXP were the main ones I had issues getting to work. I was running openbox on gentoo, so it may not be an issue on slack, that's one of the few major distros I haven't touched.

Hey everyone,

Anyone know of any gotchas with  Vector Linux or any other Slackware
based distro?  I'm trying VL on a virtual box and so far its pretty
fast.  I'm thinking I might replace my Mint install with VL.

Thanks,
~Ross
