which distribution to use?
Incidentally I think I am going to go with Slackware. I have used it before and liked it a lot.

Debian. ;-).
I stand by my statement, if one wants to learn how linux works, use
slackware, its the only system that allows you to install what "you" want and
not what the system wants, try that with all other distro's.Try installing debian, redhat, mandrake, suse on a system with low memory.
Slackware can be installed on an old machine with 8MB, others cant. Slackware is operator dependant, that means configure things like X yourself
if you want too, most all other distro's do it for you, so you see with those
other distro's you "dont" learn linux as good as you do when one uses
Slackware period.Quoted 1 line
