My husband hooked me up on Slackware almost three months ago (he used to run Slackware in the '90s). While I use a large range of OSes on a daily basis, when I am under Linux I now prefer to use Slackware. This is my mini-article with thoughts on Slackware 9.1 after using it for three months on and off. Ten screenshots are included.

Does Nautilus and gnome-panel need to be compiled against FAM?
Actually, you need to recompile gnomevfs2 with FAM support, that's it. In FreeBSD, have to use inetd and have the portmap (for FreeBSD 4.x) or rpcbind (for FreeBSD 5.x) enable to make the FAM works. I can't really comment on Linux to get FAM running, but I do know that you will need to recompile gnomevfs2 with FAM support.
