    But how about Slackware?
    Do you really belive windows BS? Try linux use something fresh not something old and refurbished!!

    And knoppix is something you would rekomend? Or is it naughty?
    Install Slackware. As a part of the install install KDE.

    The default is to boot to init 2 which is CLI. Change the default to init 4. You can do this via grub or via slackware.

    It is not hard.

    Edit inittab, change it to read:

    # Default runlevel.
    id:4:initdefault:

    slapt-get,
    I just love some of the terms and package names we got.
    Ive felt like one of those every time Ubu has got the better of me
    Brilliant.
    I`m killing our m.e eventually but will be sticking to the Ubu family of distro`s......."keeping it IN the family" so to speak

    Happy hunting....

    xpod you always struck me as a slacker

    I hope you enjoy Slackware. Not to harp, but I will anyway....

    Slackware 10.2 is somewhat outdated and I would advise Zenwalk for the time being. You do know Slackware 11.0 is in RC5? I am anxiously awating Slackware 11.0.

    For all your slackware needs:

    Linux Packages

    Enjoy.

    OI!!...i meant i usually felt like a "slapt-get"....not a "slacker"

    Dont get the chance to be a "slacker" round here mate...

    Of course if your having trouble with the meaning...."slapped git"

    EDIT...between THIS community and my OWN bloody community im run off my feet

    I use ZenWalk for a PII box with 128 MB RAM and it works great. I highly recommend it for ease of use and usability with older hardware.

    Slackware sounds intresting is there any good forums for it?
    There is an *official* Slackware forum:
    linuxquestions.org/questions/forumdisplay.php?f=14

    This is an excellent Slackware resource and contains a ton of helpful info including howtos, etc.

    My favorite (starting out) Slackware reference that will get you up and running a full Desktop install is:
    http://www.bitbenderforums.com/vb22/...?postid=311808

    IMHO this is an invaluable starting point reference.

    Also there is an excellent freenode.org irc channel (##slackware)
    that provides an excellent source of information as well.

    Good luck and happy Slackin'
