Slackware 12.2

[Phat_Penguin]

I installed Slackware 12.2 the other day after having a self imposed hiatus from Linux for a couple of years. I was surprised that everything just worked out of the box including my bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Only minor headaches I struck were getting my second LCD monitor to work but after a bit of googling and messing with the xorg.conf file all was good. Also, the sound wasn't playing well with the other children in the box but after a bit of investigation I found it was my fault as I failed to disable the onboard sound in my BIOS, once done everything works fine.

I am very impressed, even my USB NTFS drives are all automatically recognised and I can read and write to them, something I remember giving me grief a few years ago.

In my travels I found this little tutorial called The Perfect Desktop - Slackware 12 here at http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfec...op_slackware12, its a little dated and obviously refers to earlier released of Slack 12, but very informative.
