  1. I just said no to the Comcast-NBC merger! http://bit.ly/1WciqP #NoMerger (via @freepress) 5:23 PM Dec 8th from web
  2. @tuxradar Because the last thing I want to see is a very non critical error from SMART showing up on my desktop. 1:17 PM Nov 19th from web
  3. @tuxradar My three second review: Slackware tops them all in terms of performance. 1:15 PM Nov 19th from web
  4. @tuxradar No other distribution does this, and my laptop runs just fine. 1:14 PM Nov 19th from web
  5. @tuxradar IMO, Fedora is a perfectionist. Too many hardware checks, especially when it reports a faulty HD on a FOUR MONTH OLD laptop! 1:14 PM Nov 19th from web
  6. After installing Slackware, I have installed VirtualBox and QEMU with the KQEMU module for installation of other operating systems. 5:43 PM Nov 18th from web
  7. IMO, Slackware is the most efficient Linux distribution, and absolutely flies on my Toshiba laptop, even with KDE 4.2! 5:40 PM Nov 18th from web
  8. Also, with Slackware, you can mix Slackware packages (*.tgz and *.txz) with source packages (*.tar.gz and *.tar.bz2) and everything works. 5:39 PM Nov 18th from web
  9. ...so only one package needs to be downloaded instead of two per software package. 5:38 PM Nov 18th from web
  10. Another thing I like about Slackware is that packages for Slackware already include the development headers... 5:38 PM Nov 18th from web
  11. Slackware is also the best performer when it comes to Wi-Fi connectivity, especially when I use "wicd" instead of Network Manager. 5:37 PM Nov 18th from web
  12. On my Toshiba laptop, Slackware is by far the fastest performing distribution of all distributions I have tried. 5:36 PM Nov 18th from web
  13. Then, I tried the Slackware 13.0 distribution on the other side of the DVD-ROM. 5:34 PM Nov 18th from web
  14. Though Kubuntu is a great OS, there were some problems with availability of *-devel packages for KDE 4.3. 5:33 PM Nov 18th from web
  15. So far, it has taken me two and a half hours to install what I consider to be essentials to my laptop. 11:07 AM Nov 7th from web
  16. It was simply a matter of reconfiguring the repositories to everything available to Ubuntu. 9:23 AM Nov 7th from web
  17. ...and some of them include an updated kernel, hence the need to reboot. 9:22 AM Nov 7th from web
  18. When this update is finished, I will need to reboot as there are 104 packages to be installed... 9:21 AM Nov 7th from web
  19. I am now running Synpatic to install updates to this version. 9:21 AM Nov 7th from web
  20. What I installed was a special KDE 4.3 version of Kubuntu 9.04 provided by LinuxPro Magazine. I absolutely love this version. 9:19 AM Nov 7th from web
