I ran slackware back in the 1.3 days. It was definitely a good distribution to learn what was going on then... I haven't used it recently though. I had it set up to autodial the U of MN modem pool everyday during the hours I was at school so I could get to it from school. It was nice when they didn't meter your access at all... -----Original Message----- From: Kelly Black [mailto:blackk100 at hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 12:15 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG:22428] Caldera sucks Slack is kind of excellent when it comes to learning what is actually going on. If you don't want to know, you should run something else.
