So, after much time and research, I'm still not sure which OS I'll sink
my teeth into. Certainly I plan to get into Linux From Scratch
eventually.
Basically what I want in a system is IceWM and KDE; an installer that
handles partitions and will have a boot loader so I can multi-boot OSs;
a package manager like Conary that will take care of dependencies for
me as well as the ability to compile myself and install from tar.gz.
See Slackware: like a pre-compiled LFS ;) Unix-like focus, I chose
slack a couple years ago after using redhat for years, tried / rejected
SuSE, Gentoo, Debian, the various derivative distros (*ubuntu, et al)
disappoint as I don't need GNU/Linux bent to windoze look and feel, I
can run windoze for that ;)
