If anyone wants to try slackware but have put off by its perceived 'difficulty', give CL a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. I use linux strictly as a home destop and most of I need is included. I added dl-gnome and tweaked a bit and now my desktop is faster, more responsive and sharper looking than RH9. CL inherits all the good points of Slackware 8.1 as well as the not so good. All 8.1 packages I have tried work fine and those I compiled myself also work well. I have installed slack before on my PC and it took me while to find, install and configure all the apps I like to use. What I ended up with is 90% of what CL installs by default.
