Steve, Slack 9 is awesome ... with the new hotplug support in place it found everything for me ... slack is getting better all the time. I am a slack addict :) Patrick is doing good work. To be honest redhat is too complex to even know what it does IMO ... BTW I tried building a linux sytstem entirely from source www.linuxfromscratch.org ... lots o fun. If you really want to understand linux ... this goes down to the basics ... -- Doug At 01:29 PM 4/9/2003 -0700, you wrote: >On Sat, Apr 05, 2003 at 11:36:37AM +0200, Doug wrote: > > Thomas, > > > > > Thanks, this was vary helpful. > > > > I started on Redhat long ago in the Redhat 5 days, then > > switched to slackware a few years ago.
