Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Slack problems

 

I don't mind effort that much.  I'm just very tired of getting griped at for not doing some thing that I didn't even know I was supposed to do before I asked my question.  I've heard that slack folks aren't as judgemental as Gentoo folks...

I'm not familiar with that one. Slackware itself has slapt-get or
something similar. There are several distributions that probably require
less effort on your part though, from the obvious like Mint and Ubuntu to
things like Arch, which isn't all that complicated to set up.
