My Linux Deflowering!

[s1acker]

I'm using Linux for the very first time and it seems pretty cool, I'm using a SLAX LIveCD. Linux itself doesn't seem too hard to use (though I have no idea how Trevelyn manages to use LiveCDs for everything), Konsole looks pretty cool, I messed around with Telnet a bit in DOS but didn't do a lot, off I go to Google to find something cool to do with it...

Linux is awesome. If you like Slax you should install Slackware itself. It's not very user friendly for just getting started with Linux, but it's a great distro. "Vector" is also good and pretty easy to get used to being new to Linux and it's a Slackware based distro.

Does ubuntu have that nice transparent terminal like knoppix?

You can set the level of transparency , How 1337 

You can set transparency on pretty much anything on X-Windows with any distro. E-term is a good terminal emulator for that option IMO.

To all the newbies, check out the man and info pages on iptables.
It's the best packet managing sofware ever!

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.

I think maybe once a day I'll randomly start or bring up a thread in this section and post the most off topic non related thing I can think of. Todays free post is:

I find this conversation relevant.

I got a bunch of flashdrives from a wholesaler (they messed up an order at work) and decided I was going to make one a bootable device, so I put Damn Small on it. I don't think I've ever seen my parent's PII run so smooth, even if it did take forever and a few minutes to boot.

Yeah that's the best part. I have an old P2 running freeBSD and it runs very smooth even with X windows. And my main computer is only a P3 (600mhz, 512ram) running slackware12.0 and it runs great. I use fluxbox as a windows manager and it makes it much faster because it's so minimal.

fluxbox rules.  I've been using that or blackbox forever now.  Every now and then I try our Enlightenment DR17 but those pesky desktop icons piss me off.
