I have run a GNU/Linux system as my main operating system for a little while now. I started on Red Hat 6 back in ’99, but since then I’ve used Debian, Slackware, DSL, Knoppix, and others at various points. The latest has been Ubuntu. I picked up 7.04 and have been pretty satisfied since then. After marriage and a kid, I appreciated how simple Ubuntu was to set up. The default settings were livable, with a little tweaking.
Recently, I have started getting the itch again to tinker, and Ubuntu’s default setup is no longer satisfying me (nothing wrong with it, just not what I want). So after some deliberation, I am going back to a Slack-based distro: ZenWalk.
