I have to agree with you. For the downright newbie, Slackware sounds alot
more simpler to me. Of course, it doesn't have any X based configuration
utilities, but installation is a snap *groan*

Actually, I don't see why we're having this conversation -- heck, every
distribution is easy to install, "even a chicken can install Debian",
"Redhat's the easiest", "Slackware's Simple!"

They are /all/ easy enough to install. Comments?

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
