Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

I've tried Debian before. I didn't work as smoothly as Ubuntu right away, and since I didn't have any reason to try it other than curiosity, I gave up on it rather quickly. I'm sure it's just as nice in most ways, though.

If that's an issue, he can safely take Slackware off of his list.
My favorite distribution is Gentoo, which is a fork off of Debian. I've been using it since they forked, and had been using Debian before that. If you're not willing to do a lot of reading, and spend a lot of time compiling everything (including the compiler), then don't bother, though.
Like all things in life, pumping is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending.
Hey, I don't tell you how to tell me what to do, so don't tell me how to do what you tell me to do! ... Bender knows when to use finesse.
Thought it used Grub? It has been a while. Also, I find the concept of an operating system that doesn't come with a boot-loader very amusing.
I think the most recent version I used was 9, so I'm no authority.
I'm on 9.10 and it definitely uses GRUB, and has since at least 8.
Another popular utility for booting Linux is GRUB. GRUB is not included or officially supported by Slackware. Slackware holds to the “tried and true” standard for what gets included inside the distribution. While GRUB works well and includes some features that LILO does not, LILO handles all the essential tasks of a boot loader reliably with a proven track record. Being younger, GRUB hasn't quite lived up to that legacy yet. As it is not included with Slackware, we do not discuss it here. If you wish to use GRUB (perhaps it came with another Linux OS and you want to use it to dual-boot) consult GRUB's documentation.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
