Thanks, Mike.              Another distro that fits that description is Slackware. About the       oldest surviving distro, and true to the "Unix way". I've been using it       for years and wouldn't even consider switching to something else.                      * SLMR 2.1a * "Bother!" said Pooh, as he tried to learn COBOL.       --- SBBSecho 2.26-Win32        * Origin: Diamond Mine Online bbs.dmine.net (1:275/89)    |
