Slackware is getting better and better

I just realised a fatal error in my prefix settings.  All my apps should have the same prefix.  I realised this after xine kept complaining about files not being there.  So I have to go uninstall all of my apps (only 4... thankfully) and then set the prefix to /apps , not /apps/appname

Fortunately I'm going back to my Mac, so I don't have to deal with it for another week.

I know it can be irritating to get it fully configured.
But once it's stable, you'll really love it. Slackware still shows all the basics from Linux.   ;)

Slack was one of the first distros, was it not?

Indeed it was. I have Slack 9.0, and it makes an excellent platform for programming. I use 'Drake for most common needs: 'Net surfing, sending/receiving E-Mail, etc. However, I do all development work on Slack, as it provides all the really terrific development aids.

Sounds interesting.  If I ever lose broadband, I think I'll use slack.
