I've almost made it a full month with Slackware and I love my system! I got it setup exactly the way I want it and it runs like a champ! Thank you all for getting me to really try Slackware!

It is great to hear stories like yours! Slackware holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first distribution I tried back in 1993, and was my introduction to Linus' kernel and the GNU utilities that made it a full-fledged operating system. It is the oldest active distro out there. Thanks again, Patrick!
