Slackware 10 Rocks

I used Fedora Core 2 as my main system all summer. We bought the parts for our GeeXboX home entertainment system a few days before our LAN party at my house the last friday before school started. I bought SuSE 9.1 at Fry's when we went I ended up installing it during the second week after school started. During this week I went on a distro-downloading-n-burning-frenzy.

I downloaded Feather Linux 0.58, FreeBSD 5.2.1, Slackware 10, College Linux 2.5, and Linspire 4.5.499. I happened to have 'received' a few more hard drives so now my collection includes:

1. 120GB with Windows 98(?)/2000
   
2. 1GB with nothing
   
3. 8GB with Mandrake 10
   
4. 80GB with corrupted Fedora Core 2 partition
   
5. 80GB with Suse 9.1 Personal
   
6. 120GB with Slackware 10
   
7. 80GB with FreeBSD
   
8. 60GB "DeathDeskStar" with Linspire (it hums)
   
9. 60GB with nothing
   

The story behind my Fedora drive is simple: I was stupid enough to fsck a mounted disk (if you pronounce fsck incorrectly like me that phrase rhymes). Luckily I had backed up a few things, installed SuSE 9.1, and got xorg to actually work in SuSE. Then I decided to install Slackware 10. After a few days I got Slackware 10 working well and I started using XFCE4 until I had a few problems with it so I switched to Dropline Gnome 2.6.

Moral of the story: Be careful ... or just always keep a few extra usable OSs laying around just in case.
