Help Choosing Linux

quagmondo23 · 12-23-2007, 06:58 PM

Hi,
I want slackware linux distribution that I can dual-boot with xp. I want to use the system for general internetting, slightly more complicated networking and programming. The last version of linux (zenwalk) i had didn't work with multiple things on my laptop. If it could be fully compatible with my acer aspire 9100 series' 2200bg wireless card and it synoptics touchpad. It would be nice if it was kind of new-user friendly. Thanks

Slackware is a linux distribution. Do you mean a slackware based distro?
