    I used to do that way back when. Slackware was the best distribution for running on laptops back in the mid to late 1990's especially considering apm
    and cd bootablility issues. In fact the first live cd I ever saw was provided
    by Slackware back on 3.6 if I am recalling correctly. Them were the days.
    `
    until somewhere around the 5.0 kernel.

    I used Slackware a long time ago then I switched to debian becayse I had a lot of issues with it.

    ping for updates :)
    Huh? Linux can't ping properly?

    stay on windows then :)

    Windows sometimes seems to be like ford fix and repair daily.

    Hey Phillip!

    I used Slackware a long time ago then I switched to debian
    becayse I had a lot of issues with it.

    Back when debian first came out I was highly unimpressed with it. Same with redhat although at the time it was the easiest to get up and running right out of the box. I may still even have the install CDs for those kicking around somewhere. They'd be around 25-ish years old by now.

    As for Debian, the main issue I have with them is compatibility. Things like substitution eglibc for glibc, mawk for awk, etc. Also I always got the impression that debian is the microsoft of linux distributions which in my case is not a good thing.

    I think Slackware is probably the most stable distribution although I haven't been keeping up with the others.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    LOL, solve what? The Sysop's compulsion to screw things up?

    I know its the nature of the silly message hobby but the vast majority of problems I read are from people screwing around with things, incompetency /
    not reading documentation or log files, etc. "experimenting" with things or nagging competent Sysops with hand-holding questions.
