Re: New distribution?

For the last year I have been working on making custom distros; at work I have needed to come up with a way to install a _very_ custom linux on special hardware. I start with the basic RedHat (6.2) install CD and hack it up to suit my needs. I have come up with 2 methods: 1) Delete the RedHat

Hi everybody, I'm facing a big decision, and I would need some information. So I might go in two directions: -DSL from Verizon (which means that I buy a PCI kit from Staples, which I bet is only for windows) or MV (which in turn uses Verizon AFAIK). This is a little more expensive than Speedway,

Well... Slackware is the oldest extant distribution. It's really kinda nifty -- brings you back to the "old days" of Linux, though I admit I haven't used it since 3.3 or 3.4. I used to be a huge Slackware fan, but, slowly, came about to the dark side of package managers (Slackware's "packages"

It's time for me to rebuild my system, and I'd like to try a non-RedHat distro. I know that everyone is jazzed about Debian, but I'm a little concerned about the install. I'm kind of intrigued by Slackware, and wondered if folks might have some opinions they might share with me. (Opinions? Us?

What distro are you using? My immediate thought, if you don't need it set up the way it was, is to recreate the printer in the printcap from scratch. I'd install CUPS & gtklp (what I have at home), then define it as a remote printer, and not bother with all the spooling stuff, but let the pri
