slackware noob

[netshogun]

hey all, I've installed slackware 2 times and Im here to tell ya, I like it!

I think the trick is in documenting your partitioning scheme
choosing the correct software
configuring yoru x
configuring your network

CAKE!

I do have a questing regarding sound. I believe it detected the sound card and tries to play but no sound comes out.

Is there a sound card configuration utility. like in rehat?


By the way I love the rpm2tgz command, it ROCKS!


With all that said, I think I'll be converting to Slackware from now on. I'll leave RH/SUSE to my customers.

I had the same problem, i just located "Sound Mixer", on the Kde "start menu". And turned up all the things that could be adjusted until I got sound.

If you are like me you noticed a real speed difference too. I converted like you and have not looked back since.

As I wish my students would be like that... 60% prefer RH, but the rest when they get used to Slack they become fast and efficient.
