Ok.. i have a small clutter in my head..
Im thinkin of installing Slackware to a Laptop.. but some friends told me it takes AAGGEESS and roughly 7 hours to install Slackware..

so they told me to pic a distro which can easily be compatible with any box.. and light (which means its not damn huge and takes 5GB of your HDD just for the OS space)

so what distro would it be? i had experience in RedHat.. and so far installing RedHat wasnt a problem.. it was quite easy actually compared to installing Debian..

ooh and i have a question


when i saw some slackware screen shots.. i liked the transpiracy of the command prompt to the desktop.. in lamemans terms.. the command prompt's background becomes transparent and blends in with the desktop..

Is there any other distro of linux that does this??

here is an example:

as you could see, on the top left corner of the screen shot you can see the command prompt blending in with the background.. thats what im after..
