I've got a slackware release, I'm running 1.2.13, I know 2 is out, but
since the books I have cover 1.2.x I figured I'd stay here for now while I
figure stuff out. The above statment makes me wonder if the slackware
distribution is looked down upon by those "in the know"? I'm using
slackware becuase it's on the CD I have, should I avoid it when it comes
time to getting a new version?
