However, I have tried Slackware since then, on some
fairly recent
version - 10.0, I think. I found it nearly as forbidding as it was a
decade ago, and these days, I'm fairly well-used to Debian, Ubuntu,
Red Hat, SuSE, Mandriva and many others.
I've not messed with most of those, though occasionally I'll get some kind of
current CDs and boot them just to see what they look like...
Anyhow,
I'm not sure what the hardware is that you're messing with
there, but if you want to get some Slackware running on it let me know.
Well, hey, if Slackware is the only modern that still supports MCA, I
might give it a shot. Does it? I don't think modern Debian does...
