[ale] good linux

[Joseph A. Knapka]

I started running a built-from-scratch Linux back in '92.

That was the year it snowed 20' in Athens, GA and I had to walk
uphill both ways to my office in the AI lab.

Since then I've used Slackware, RH, and an early Debian. Slackware
is what I always come back to. I recognize that the auto-guified
setup tools provided by RH and its ilk are good, but they just
drive me up the wall. And I have to say that my single *worst* Linux
installation experience was with Debian - the installer seemed
designed to create confusion. Probably Debian has improved a 
lot since then (I keep hearing raves about apt-get).
