I am myself most happy with Trisquel, but I am not a computer expert, so I do not know if it does not provide enough flexibility for certain tasks. In any case, since you mention your preference for Slackware, perhaps you should have a look to Kongoni -it is on the list of the FSF and is base

Just go to Synaptic (or "sudo apt-get install kde") and install "kde". It is a metapackage that will install and configure automatically all the modules related to the KDE Desktop -it won't install development packages-. On your next session you will be able to select KDE as your desktop. _

In synaptic, when I select to install Python3, it doesn't say that anything will be uninstalled in the process. I agree with you about the good coordination of the Trisquel team. I am certainly not a person to judge things superficially, but when I first heard of the gNewSense project I was

I am not sure of the reason GNOME was chosen. Some like it better. Both are Free Software, and powerful, and it's really a preference for what works best for each person. Myself, I prefer GNOME. I think, just guessing, that the reason there is not an option to install from the disk is th

To get multiple Python's versions, when installing from source you should use altinstall to avoid breaking the system. Replace the default Python version isn't generally a good idea since many apps may turns broken (expecially replacing python < 3 with python >= 3). Il giorno mer, 10/02/2010 all

See the link below for a discussion about this. Apparently it's impossible (or more work than it's worth) to default to Python3 even after installing it properly. Perhaps that's different in Slackware? http://evalinux.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/installing-python-30-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/

Okay, I think I figured out what happened. When I installed Python3, it removes python2.6, which in turn removes the trisquel base system. (So, you can't have multiple versions of the same package?) I tried fixing the issue by reinstalling the base system again, but it ended up breaking sy
