    Another Slackware guy here.

    It was my first distro, and I'm glad I chose it for my first. Since there are no fancy GUI tools, I was forced to read man pages and configure things the old fashioned way. Which means I learned a lot pertty quickly.

    Now that I feel like I know the basics pretty well, I think I'll go for Gentoo or maybe one of the BSD's.

    slackware, suse, redhat, fc2, freebsd, openbsd, xp home and pro.. All being used on different machines along with dual booting. Used both lilo and grub, really don't have a preferance. And I just got my free 3 dvd set from suse, so I will be trying the different apps and os's included.

    Your only choice is slackware or *bsd, gag rules for dual/tri/quad....up to 9 booting http://gag.sourceforge.net/

    Now that I've finished screaming, I feel that using Slackware or Gentoo is a great learning experience. If you want to use Linux as a plug and play replacement for Windows, SuSe or Mandrake is a good choice. However, if you really want to learn the Linux OS, Slack or Gentoo is the way to go.

    Cheers,

    One thing I'd like to add, if you're going to get Slackware, be sure to check out Dropline Gnome
