Re: [UUG/MLUG] TOASTER.

I would suggest this:  Learn the commands and stuff - before you start to
use X or another graphical interface.  I have found knowing how the "system"
works is the best way to learn.  This way you learn what your box is doing
when it's In a graphical mode.  Make sense?  I would suggest using Slackware
to learn on. Others will have their opinions - but it is simple and doesn't
take up as much space.
