Zenwalk/Slackware works for me because I like OpenBSD and the configuration of Slackware based systems is very similar(CLI). Zenwalk has a good collection of apps in it's repo, not huge, but well selected. I recommend Zenwalk for systems you want to have a light touch on the hardware - I believe it is still configured to install onto 486 architectures - well it might require a Pentium these days... When giving away computers I tend to load Zenwalk - simple & functional without all the maintenance of giving Fedora to someone just figuring out GNU/Linux. *when not using OpenBSD Ed --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
