Hmm, not a bad idea, I've just looked at the price, is there a reason that
its cheaper than most of the other distributions? Is that a really horrible
question? I notice that it has emacs and gnopernicus as well.
Are these preeconfigured like in Fedora?
I'd like to make up my mind by getting as many views as possible along with
reading as much about the distributions as possible.
Thanks
Darragh
P.S, one more thing. I don't think Slackware has RPM or Yum support does
it? I know of like them two apps. Can they be installed separately?

Why do we spend more time troubleshooting our systems than actually
using them?
