RedHat is difficult, since it tries to be so simple :) I use Slackware a lot on my laptop systems since I haven't been able to get FreeBSD to install on any of them due to PCMCIA NICs and cdroms. Slackware is a great distribution if you know what you're doing. While it isn't as good as FreeBSD (in my opinion) it certainly is miles better than, for example, RedHat and SuSE. -Fredrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
