Hi. Was surfing and saw your review.
I am a gui user as often as I can.
However I like things to work, so I want to change what I feel that more, uh, 'works-for-me [italics]'
I cannot argue with your comments. I do not have enough talent hacking linux, whether from gui or clui, so I won't.
I would like to add a couple things I noticed and like or don't like while using Porteus.
It is a lot of small parts, each of them simple, joined together to make a whole, as you know, that is 'slackware way' on top of 'linux way.' Depending on the user's experience and ability, the porteus on slackware on GNU/linux can be made, for the user, to 'work-for-me [italics].'
Porteus reflects a tiny version of what I make when i take the time to make a slackware linux up-and-running.
There are many ways to get a thing done. Some of those [obvious ones the devs anticipated or discovered] have become useful scripted items in the porteus desktop.
Things I cannot figure how to do by looking around on the desktop, I often find after I word what I want to do and then google them.
I bet on [and betted on] reading the howtos and some other stuff in the porteus.org webs site and using those as a step by step, unless you have a healthy sense of humour [and incremental backups while you progress].
I have my install of the porteus 1 64, it has only been a few days [couple weeks?] I have farted around and I have a little USB HDD I made said incremental backups into.
It is ROCK-N-ROLL, BABY!!
And if I should break it while abusing root, I step back to the backup made an hour or a day before and make I did wrong all right.
Fast as hell, stable someday after I stop monkeying around and get serious about using guest account.
