Really?
I hadn't known I'd ever had Linux experience prior to Knoppix 3.4 - 4.0 for
two months and then Slackware.

The internet itself is an interactive teacher if one employs ones'
resourses well.

Not to say Maurice isn't exceptionally talented, he is.

You?

Not so much.

I mean claiming I couldn't follow your directions to remove
the video card and reboot which I'd presumed would fry the software
and did in fact worse than anything I'd previously experienced.


Funny guy, you offered that advice before you admitted you'd even
installed Slack for the first time months later. 

IOW's you had no idea what you were talking about.

Slackware isn't for you.


Stick with Ubuntu or Phoenix, they're oversimplified.

I've no use for either.
