Re: does slackware have advantages?

["Krishnakant Ramesh Mane" <krmane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks friends, thanks a million $ for your help.  I promis that 
given a choice to donate to M$ or blinux mailing list I will pay 
for blinux.  this is a kind of comunity that helps every one to 
make there lifes easy and more profitable. (with the 
misconceptions of M$ pro people that linux is free of cost and one 
can't earn out of it).
where there was another mis understanding about my mail.  First of 
all I am sorry if I sounded like advocating some thing.  But the 
fact is that if I was advocating some brand I would have never 
asked on the list.  any ways, all you my friends did not get 
another point of mine.  or may be I did not cunvay it properly.
I was just thinking that as all agree that the server should be 
consisting of the bare minimum required to run the enterprise and 
leave the other stuff to the clients, I thought slackware will be 
good.  Some one rightly pointed out that redhat needs a lot of 
dependancies for working.  I have heard that slackware can be 
installed with just a single cd and does take one gb or so.  if 
that is true then I may go with it.  but with a blind person's 
perspective will it be easy to install ViaVoice on the slackware 
9?
another point is that I am going to be the part of the training 
team from my organisation to train the administration part to the 
staf at the client's end.  the person in charge is aware of linux 
and knows how to operate.  so I also have to consider the ease of 
use due to the fact that he is no expert in technicalities.  
that's the reason I bought mandrek linux cds.  again ViaVoice must 
work on it or else I may not be able to do the configuration part.  
I have to also look in the GUI issue because I think the guy out 
there was previously a M$ freek and knows things like control 
panel etc and seams to like it.  hence I am thinking about 
mandrek.  does slackware have that rich gui like redhat (because I 
have used it)  Further more a few so called experts have told me 
that mandrek is much stable and the easiest to install is that 
true (from a blind person's point of view? ) I mean if I were to 
make some sited person sit with me to instruct him to install the 
thing.  how easy will it be for me to communicate with him to 
direct him.  I have heard that in this perspective mandrek is the 
easiest and slackware will be most technical.
Please comment on this.
thanks.
