Switching from Chrome to Firefox

I remember installing Linux like that during the (early?) 90s. It took about two days of answering endless questions ("Do you want Klingon fonts?")

I much prefer what we get nowadays.

About 10 years later (sometime in 01-03) I remember installing Red Hat from the CDs in the school library. It was absolutely no problem to get it working for what I needed it for, and with minimal tweaking (I had no clue back then) I got sound working as well.

Remember, this was back in the days were on Windows you'd carefully archive any CDs or diskettes that came with your computer to have a chance to reinstall it and Linux just worked (sometimes, it wasn't always that easy back then.)

Sounds like you must have chosen the expert install option (or whatever they called it) in slackware install scripts..

Are you sure there wasn't also an option to just install a typical server or desktop application set, or just install everything? :)

But do you get Klingon fonts?
