| The best distro finally has released a new official version (for those unlike myself who run slackware and keep current with all the packages and kernels) | |

Well I have kind of had 10.0 for a while since I keep up with all the latest packages and the very latest kernels. I am running kernel 2.6.7. It's great; no problems. I have had a few sound issues with ALSA as have had others, but fooling around with it gets it to work. Slackware just revently changed from XFree86 to X.org as its X server. No problems with the changeover. In fact, X.org is VERY similar to XFree86. | |

| XFree86... my old nemesis... | |

| I may just try out Slackware when I have some time. I have some space free on my FreeBSD box. | |

Slackware is actually similar to FreeBSD. It's called by many the most "Unix like" Linux distro. If you are used to FBSD, Slackware should take no time to learn. | |

Well I'm still learning FreeBSD so its a start. | |

| I actually prefer FreeBSD. The ports system can't be beat. | |

Yes the ports system is great. I use swaret (www.swaret.org) for slackware and it's pretty darn good itself. | |

Upgrading from 9.1 today. | |

Yes, swaret save you a ton of work. I have used it and found that it was great! | |

| I just installed 10.1 and am confused. I had used Redhat before and had a lovely desktop with KDE, but now that Slackware has switched to X.org my old desktop problems seem to have returned! Ine of these days I will learn not to install any GUIs with Linux! | |

What problems? X.org is very very similar to XFree86. | |
