Yeah, Newby, but Slackware isn't easy. Here's some paraphrase (I can't find the original) of a quote iago told me a while back.

Quote
Slackware Linux is for bearded old UNIX sysadmins who enjoy doing all their work through ten feet of snow, uphill both ways, and barefoot.

You might be right about that, Joe.

It would seem so. : - P

http://www.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=41764&cid=101057

To be honest, I don't know a single soul outside this forum or the vL forum that uses slackware. :P

EDIT: I can't bare to withhold ... but I can't see any Linux distribution topping Gentoo for "manual" ... I mean, the older Gentoo releases didn't even have an installer.  There is supposedly a gtk installer now, but I still use the old one when I need Linux.  It's a lot like OpenBSD's install ... except worse.

There are two ways to install Gentoo, you can have it compile the compiler, then have the compiler compile the userland, then make.conf ... the kernel ... then portage ... then build cron and syslog ... it takes a few days.
Then there is a stage3 install.
You do the following
- Boot the CD
- Configure internet
- Fdisk, mount and swapon
- Lynx and download stage3
- Untar stage3
- Chroot and update environment
- make a make.conf
- Lynx and download portage
- untar portage
- use portage to get the kernel sources
- compile the kernel
- have portage build syslog, cron and boot loader.

Yes, it's pretty nasty.  OpenBSD has you do the first 3 steps and it does everything else for you through a curses interface.
Only reason I use Gentoo is that it's portage is very familiar to ports in Free/OpenBSD.

So, I would hope Slackware isn't that bad.

I don't visit vL's forum!  Now you do!

There's a kid in my CS class that uses it on his server.  I was surprised, but hey!

I use to visit vL forum, until the sadistic Invert pissed me off.
Anyhow, read up ... you can see what "nude, in 10 feet of snow, -40C" really means :)

I can install Slackware 10 in under two hours on a 166MHz machine. It's a curses interface.

Also, as far as nobody else using Slackware, I know one real-life friend, but I don't know if that counts because I'm solely responsible for that.

It's okay ... not like many people use FreeBSD either :P

Actually, I know a lot of people who use *BSD at my school. They're gay.
