have tried dead-rat linux from 6-9.0-from fedora i am off it.
proben mandrake and suse ,turbolinux and -at last -when know things better moved to>Slackware
and must say :"slack owns ,it gives me exactly what i want, in way i want and when i want".
if other distros makers will make all explanations as clear and short as they are in slack ,m$windooz is gone.
So i just go slacking.Clear things are good ones.

Although I would normally say Debian, I have to acknowledge the tremendous work the Libranet team has done and it shows in their distro.

Wow, there is ONE vote for Vector!

I like Slackware, everything works because there is nothing to mess up!

Few distros can make windows under KDE open before you've clicked the mouse - Vector can - its a fast Slackware based distro....... a nice addition...

I didn't realise slakware was so popular...

slightcrazed · 11-17-2003, 03:09 PM

Wow..... slackware.

I guess the saying is true... Once you've had slack, you'll never go back.

tried suse to many problems with yast2 and redhat seems plain. Mandrake though fits my server and desktop needs. 9.1 WAS GOOD but 9.2 (unless you have lg products) ROCKS!!!

just installed slackware 9.1 and WOW. i tried SW a couple of years ago, but was too new and jusst couldnt get it right. the install was flawless and the configuration went perfectly except for the lilo setup, had to go back to add my XP partition manually. X worked like a champ, had to re-do my mouse settings to get the wheel to work and XFce is awesome! i had been using mandrake and redhat like a lot of former windows users, then tried suse 8.2 and i too had trouble with yast. slackware rules!

mdevilz · 11-17-2003, 05:15 PM

SuSE all the way

ive had 7.2, 8.0, and now 8.2 Pro

soon to have 9.0 Pro around christmas time /need to save money

I might download Debian and set that up on my 133MHz piece of $hit

Nice to see slack on top... Keep it up Patrick!

R@LF · 11-17-2003, 05:32 PM

Is it maybe because al the other distro's have LESS problems and don't come here often ?

Ha, a nice point, or maybe more people post problems because more people use slackware. I don't think anyone would seriously stick with a distribution that kept giving them problems. I think most slackers will back me up when I say that once configured, slackware gives one of the smoothest rides possible... And not a dependency error in sight

Knoppix all the way!..... Woody with an easy install and everything is configured... It's Awesome.

Slackware, for obvious reasons.
