Still in Fedora Core 2...

I switched to Fedora Core 2 (Linux) a while back and I'm still using it. It seems like each time I install a new system I get more and more things to work correctly and I learn how to overcome more and more obstacles. Windows hackers/techies have to perform tasks to overcome obstacles all the time, but they are usually very different obstacles than the ones you find in Linux.

I have ran into many problems so far in Linux and overcome quite a few. A few of the problems I have run into so far include:

• lack of Cannon i950 printer drivers installing a printer attached to another machine (Windows) on the network
  
• uncorrupting amule (emule for Linux)
  
• getting sound to work after breaking it, installing a new Window Manager (IceWM)
  
• finding various dependencies for various programs
  
• making my own shell scripts
  

I have overcome most of these problems. I just bought Slackware 10 (it was really free with $6 shipping) and I am hopping to switch sometime soon. I need to set some goals to accomplish before I feel that I can switch. I want to be able to compile and install a new kernel, and keep up-to-date on various other software easily.
