Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
So I installed Linuxoze
DukePuke:
hehe Actualy I hadn't knew that its for advanced users. Just got some Slackware review in some kind of Linux portal, and I read its very recommended for beginers. So i dloaded lnx, burn in CD, boot, lol no GUI, just stupid text based environment, and poor documentation. Duno, I planned to have 2 OS'es (with win2k) but I just dont knew how to use fdisk, and i messed all hdd with him, until I seen there is nothing more to do then to install that linux. Actualy its good distro, but i dont like that its dont support rpm packages

even easier
shutdown -h now
or
shut it down from inside the GUI... oh wait, most *NIX desktops don't let you do that ::rolls eyes::
Get GenSTEP when it comes out.

KDE can (when KDM is being used), and Gnome can do it as well.
BTW DukePuke: type "startx" and watch the magic. ;)

First things you'll need to do:
*Add a personal user:
Type: adduser (as root)
=>Slack will ask you some easy questions and make
a dir. called /home/user-name
Exit as root and log-in as your personal user.
*Pick a window manager.
=>Type: xwmconfig (as your personal user)
Start with someting easy like GNOME or KDE.
An other GNOME option is Dropline (You need an
i686 for this)
http://www.dropline.net/gnome/download.php
Type startx to launch them.
*Packages:
http://www.linuxpackages.net/
Installing them:
installpkg package-name
*Auto update/installation tools:
slapt-get=> http://software.jaos.org/
swaret=> http://www.swaret.org/
...
PS: Slackware does support RPM, but you'll have to
build the RPM database yourself(I don't find this needed).

mobrien_12:
Slackware was my very first distro... with it's spanking new 2.0 kernel
It's not as newbie friendly as others (Mandrake, SuSe, etc.) mostly because it's the one in behavior that is closest to a traditional unix system, but you do learn a lot... sortof like learning to drive with a standard transmission instead of an automatic. It's also pretty snappy.
