I am looking at taking up Slackware. After being a RedHat devotee until they decided to frequently release bloatware, and the risky GCC 2.96, I started looking at Debian. Now I am looking more closely at Slackware 8.0 and I think this is the Linux for me.
I would like to know some things about Slack, like if it has a package manager, can I adjust my video text mode (I like 100x40), can I use an ISDN connection with it, is it stable with the 2.4 kernel option, will the installer ask me if I want XFree 4.1 (even in newbie install mode? I can't remember if I saw there was a 'newbie' installation mode), does it come with the drivers for the GeForce II MX cards (or can I compile them after taking them down from nVidia's site), is the KDE distro on it complete like that with RedHat, and generally, are there any major high points of Slack over others?
