Slak is great
it doesnt insulate you from the system
that is what I like about it
it is very free and easy to deal with I cant explain it exactly one of
the reasons I left WINXX behind was the way it "thought" I find alot of
distros trying to do the same thing for me.
insulate me form the system make is "easier"
anyhow slak is a wonder love it..
OpenBSD for firewalls :)
