Thanks for encouraging.... Slackware! You must be a real hacker... I wish I were too... :-)
But if you really think yourself an expert, try using Sourcerer (or Sourcery, whatever it calls himself nowadays) or Gentoo. They have no glitches, but still nice to handle.
Anyway, if you read my comments carefully, you could have seen, that I was able to handle Mandrake, I fixed fstab and lilo.conf, and it worked. Also, I have downloaded the ati.2 drivers and it eliminated the unstability of X. I was writing about the bugs in the install program. These are bugs, no doubt...
Yeah, and you are bloody wrong about SuSE... it also had serious bugs, I would not call it a "wintendo". In 7.3, the firewall configuration was hell buggy, so as the SuSe config tool, yast2. USB handling was awfull (instable...), so after installing SuSE, the first thing must be compiling a new kernel, whatever they say about it....
I use SuSE since 5.3. I know, it is not the best (maybe Gentoo would be the optimal), but I get used to it, I know its bugs, and I know where I can find them.
Thanks for remember me to Slackware. It was the first distro I have tried, once in '95 or '96 if I recall right. Then I used RH, then Debian, then SuSE. I think I may stay with it for a while...
