I am setting up a new comp and switching distros. I mainly use slackware and pclos 2007. I like slack although it can be a pain to get everything configured well compared to more bloated all services running out the box and automated everything ones. I like pclos for other machine since wife doesn't know that much and prefers something she can setup without asking me. It seems fast and easy to setup without messing, however the repos are not that up to date and switching kernels is a pain on pclos.
I haven't set linux up on new machine (old one off a friend and he put xp in already) and am thinking of trying zenwalk (downloading as I type). Seems fast and stable from what I read with new libs and software and repos seem like they are more up to date than pclos.
What distro are people using and what do you think of zenwalk? Is it much different to slack (it's a fork from slack I believe).
