I love the slackware distro. Ubuntu is for wannabes.

Hi Eric
I bought an Asus 1005-HA running slackware-current and everything works beautifully to the letter.

Thanks Pat…

excellent work-excellent system.
Just loaded 13 on my toshiba NB100 and all appears fine so far. Although I have KDE on my slackware64 box, I installed Xfce and lxde on the NB100. (kde would be like using a sledge hammer to drive a tack). The only issue I had was an error2 message with RLW-Oo pkg. I downloaded it a second time-same result. I then ran it through src2pkg on my main PC and re-installed it-no problem. (replaced slackware12.2-with Oo running OK). Thanks – I was thinking of trying a custom LXubuntu on this but, slackware is worth the little extra effort to configure it as I like it.

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L300-ST2501 Duo Core – 2.0 GHz – 2 Gig Ram – 160 gig Hard Drive – Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator – Intel Wi-Fi Linux 5100 AGN. Installed Slackware-Current and did not have to configure not (1) piece of hardware and Slack is very fast and without error.

Thanks Pat,

Slackers keep slacking on…

well Now running Current KDE4.2.2 on the EEE PE 901 with 2.6.29.1 kernel, nice. still working on tweaking video settings and need to get wireless working. I had to carefully choose packages to get it to fit the 4gb first drive. Leaning Learning Slackware is great. boots pretty fast. If anyone has questions about the Direction of KDE4 the Guys on the Linux Link Tech Show interviewed Arien Seigo from the KDE project very good info.

Just tried KDE on the toshiba NB100 mentioned above.
You’re quite right, it does work very well.

I have bought an Asus eeepc 1000h (Atom270 and 1GB of RAM) and run slackware-current with KDE4.2.1 on it. Performs real well.

The only thing sofar that did not work out of the box was wireless. The rt2860 driver which I downloaded from RaLink did not work with WPA, so I am using ndiswrapper for now. The new 2.6.29 kernel is supposed to ship with it’s own rt2860 module, so I am going to try that kernel soon.
