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.

You need to have portmap running.

Simply chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap to have it running upon boot and FAM should be working if you have it enabled in /etc/inetd.
BTW, any comments on the OpenOffice.Org 1.1.0 Ximian edition build? Is this the one from Dropline forums?
