Wow, I'm one of those old Slackware believers, I only switched to it after
SLS was seriously dead and outdated, before that I was doing it prior to
any distribution, just using the Boot/Root disks that were available at the
time, and downloading the pieces.
Having said that, I think the next time I decide to set up a new version of
Linux I'll take RedHat for a spin. Just because I've used the Slackware
distribution for the last 3-4 years doesn't mean I like to do things the
hard way, it's more like inertia (i.e. I'm used to installing it, and can
do it without thinking).
What I really like is how easy X-Windows has become to configure. I
remember the nightmare I had setting up Xega, back when that was the only
way to run X if you didn't have an ET4000 based video card!
