You *MUST* be joking, from an administration and upgrading point of
view, Slackware is terrible.  RedHat is probably the easiest for a
complete newbie to get going.  I, on the other hand strongly suggest
that everyone on the planet convert to Debian :)

This should not be necessary.  any decent modern distribution will do
this for you - maybe Slackware doesnt hmmmm ?? :)

Manual editing of these files should NOT be needed unless you have a
very strange non-standard setup.  If you have XFree 3.3 then run
XF86Config. This uses the VGA server to provide a GUI for configuring X.

This is a valid point.  Tell us EVERYTHING about your
setup/installation.  A piece of information that may well seem trivial
to you may in fact hold the answer to your question :)
