I <em>know</em> Slackware will work fine and I do distrust package managers somewhat, but I enjoy knowing that I may be proved wrong occasionally :) I like to see what other distros are up to every now and again.

It was so frustrating and I couldn't find a fix for it. So I went back to Slackware, if the worst comes to the worst I'm at least able to upgrade by hand! Hi Denis, welcome to the site.

My wireless works better (the acx111 native drivers are fantastic) and i installed gware to take advantage of the Gnome libraries so I can install KNetworkManager if I like.

Though with Slackware, once it's installed I tend to leave scripts alone and solely rely on either slackpacks or source installs and hand edit config files. Very true Hari.

In Debian they're just a little more complicated that's all. And a lot more automated. The only way you can be totally unreliant on any third party tool is to write your own. ;) <em>hari's last blog post..<a href='http://hari.literaryforums.org/2008/03/11/papa-hari-world-government-bans-hyperlin' rel="nofollow">Papa Hari World Government bans hyperlinks</a></em> In Slackware you’re equally reliant on all the little scripts that Patrick writes is what I found.

I dislike being so reliant on a tool that when it screws up I have no other alternative than to reinstall. This is very frustrating, but next time I'll just go straight to Lenny.
