That's one thing I really love about some Distros of Linux, talking
installations. You just cant beet that indipendance.
I'll go for slackware or Debian but again, on no site has it said that they
are easy for beginners to pick up. On the other hand Mandrake and SuSE are
from what I've read renound for it. I'm not mad about not having an similar
method for installing applications to RPM on Slackware, Debian has something
which I believe is similar to Red hat, Red hat 9 doesn't have gnome 2.4 or
Gnopernicus pree-configured
What's annoying me isn't finding a distribution really. Its the fact that
Fedora includes what I want but I'm hearing that I should keep away from it
for a while until everything has been implimented and all the bugs have been
ireoned out. People are also telling me that its not a very newby friendly
distribution. The same people are persistantly telling me to move to
mandrake or SuSE, If I have to tell them once more that speakup isn't
available for it I'll go nuts.
Sorry for the quick rant, I just wanted people to know why I'm following
this line of questioning.
Oh, that's an interesting one. What's harder, making speakup run on
Mandrake or SuSe or getting Gnome and Gnopernicus running on another system
which may or may not have an RPM based installation method.

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

the last of the bugs. I'm not sure if slackware has it built into their cd
sets honestly.
