[GLLUG] Re: Debian on My Laptop

[Chick Tower]

I run Slackware, Julie, as does Pedro Wald.  Yes, Slackware's installer 
is text-based, but it comes with several window managers (the GUI).  You 
wouldn't want to try running KDE or Gnome on your laptop, but Slackware 
11.0 has KDE, XFce, Fluxbox, Blackbox, WMaker, FVWM2, and TWM.  It does 
not appear to come with LaTeX by default.
