(Not to mention good, working sanity as well. =)) I seem to be hearing a lot of good things about slack from you guys, so I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. BTW, have any of you ever had trouble with corrupt ISO images from slack? The last time I tried slack (version 7.0, I believe.) by d/ling the isos, it would complain about missing packages during the install process. Anyone have any ideas about this?
