What is your new linux distro?
Slackware 14.1. I've been a Slackware user for a long time and I
still find it less unbearable than the alternatives, but it often
annoys me.
I should have probably just compiled a new kernel and left
everything else the same. On my old system, I deleted all but
four of the fonts because I couldn't stand them. Tried to do that
here, and X wouldn't start. But I think I have it ok enough now,
the text still looks pretty bad, but I'm getting used to it (ugh).
I seriously considered putting Windows on though and running
linux in a VM. But I don't like the Windows mouse behavior, I
like my sloppy focus and especially the lack of click raising
windows. And my hotkeys on keys reserved by the system in Windows.
On the other hand, I don't like it when it takes a whole day to
get basic things working. Argh. But hopefully once it is up it'll
give me a lot of use again.
