I was loooking into other distributions as opposed to running what I am planning on (which is knoppix). I came upon a statement: "As Slackware more closely resembles commercial Unix system, it is a good tool for learning skills, such as system administration, which are easily transferable to other versions of Linux or Unix. A frequently seen signature on alt.os.linux.slackware states that 'When one learns a distribution such as Red Hat, one learns Red Hat. When one learns Slackware, one learns Linux.'" I was wondering how the distro I've choosen compares with this statement. :)~Mike~(:
