I have a laptop that is going on 4 years. With Ubuntu 6.10 ("Edgy Eft") - it's running like a dream.

I decided to keep it running SLED (it's got well over a year and a half on a subscription)--which is why I didn't change it over to Slackware yet...

If my dad can get another old laptop from work, I'll probably throw Ubuntu on it just for kicks...

Anywho, the box with Slack is that crappy emachines I own--and it couldn't be running better (and I was able to get my 2.6.18 kernel installed without a hitch). My only beef is that I can't seem to NX into it like I could with SLED--and I suspect it's because Slack doesn't use a login manager by default.

Rather, you have to login and type 'startx' at terminal to get your GUI. (Though you can obviously add a graphical login and have the init script run X off the bat--which on Slack is runlevel 4).

Do you run on GNome or KDE?
