Well I just compiled and installed slackware 9.1 on another drive of my comp…

I must say it has been years since i have done command line stuff.. took me almost 22 hours before i got my head back into the right " mindset" .      Before Windows.. i had a pretty good grasp of computers and programming in general.

   could write  programs no problem..  then i went away from  computers  for about 4 years.   Went into the military.. and look.. whats is odd about this computer…

OMG its got colors!! and a … thing ( mouse)  wtf…

any 12 years later.. and I am back to the console… staring at a blinking cursor..

hehe years of plug and play and GUI’s have ruined my thinking ability..

inc lawsuit microsoft!!

damn..

late rant  :)

mmm I love slackware :wink: (I’ve got a 9.1 too).

Well, you can use a lot of gui stuff now with linux, but the command line can be a very fast and powerful tool too!

oh yes :wink: slackware install is in text mode…

Can be hard as it has not changed since at least 8years!

If you found it to hard to use, you can try mandrake.
