fuzzylizard Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 If you are new to the worl dof Linux, then stick with Mandrake. Slackware is a harder distro to both install and maintain. However, if you are looking to really learn Linux, then Slackware may be what you are looking for. It is not the hardest distro out there, but it is not as easy as Mandrake or Red Hat. BTW, the current version for slackware is 8.1. I plan on installing it myself in the next few weeks, I will let you know what I think. Or, just keep watching my website. I will be posting all the details there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
