Zen may be the way

Class is just about over, so I'll be wiping my drive soon. I've decided to wipe the entire thing. I haven't decided on a partition plan yet, but I think I'll wipe the restore partition. Then it's a partition for XP, one for Linux and a swap partition. I'm undecided on the sizes, but I believe I'll be creating a separate home partition. I can see myself using several distros.

That brings me to the distro. I'd like to use Slackware, but I want to have something that basically sets itself up. I'll be using Zenwalk which is based on Slackware. It's supposed to be really fast. It also installs with the 2.6 kernel so I'll be able to use my wireless. I need to burn some CDs with my school work on it, but it will also have to include some additional software. For instance, I read that the 2200BG is not built into the distro, so I'll have to download that and put it to CD.

I find it strange that my post to the forum that didn't get answered. It's been a bit over a day and nobody has responded. That's kind of disturbing. Linux is user supported, and it's supposed to be easy to get answers from fellow users. If that doesn't happen, this might not turn out to be my distro.
