I've used Slack 7.1 and 8.0, and the only real problems I've had is when my cd-rom drives puked on me. Slack is a good basic Linux distro, IMO. I keep going back to it as well. Leaves much to be set up: sound, printing, etc, compared to RH or Debian. But I like to learn how to do it. =) If your ISO's don't work, I can burn you an 8.0 set. Actually, I've got the install and package iso sitting on my desk now if you need/want them.
