Oooh sounds interesting.

Where can we find a copy of slackware for a look?

Evil laugh,

Both redhat and mandrake suck :-)

Redhat feels clunky in operation, mandrake is worse and just often doesn't
work at all.

The only distribution I have been happy with is slackware.

There thats my opionon. As you can see, we all love/like different
distributions, and will defend our choices/opinions to the edge of the
universe (if not far beyond). So the best advice I can give is to find
some time and try several of them to find which is the best for YOU.

If you don't have time to do this, then the distribution you choose is not
going to matter too much. Most of them are similar, and you are not going
to have time to worry about the differences between them anyway.
