30 Days of a Distro

I am about to embark on an epic journey. I hope to begin as soon as possible, with school and sports permitting. For 30 days it is my goal to solely use ONE Linux distribution that I am completely new to, and see if I can become accustomed to it and if I like it. I am already somewhat experienced with Ubuntu Linux and the Gnome desktop environment, so for my first choice I shall be doing Slackware linux running KDE (and hopefully KDE 4) to see how I like it, whether it is noob friendly (as I will be a noob to it), what the learning curve is, etc. At least four times a week for the thirty days I hope to report back my readers about how my epic pilgrimmage fares.

So the first distro will be Slackware.



I hope to run it with KDE 4.0 and an optimum configuration for my machine.
Other features I'd like to try include Compiz and some C++ development like I've done on Windows and occasionally Ubuntu. NOTE: I AM NOT STARTING THE 30 DAYS NOW. I'll post later when I actually begin because first:

1. I need to get a new antenna for my Wireless G-PCI add in card because the USB wireless device I have now is no longer support and the drivers are EXTREMELY difficult to find, therefore I need to get an antenna for a very popular wireless PCI card (WMP54G from Linksys).
2. Get KDE 4.0 running on Slackware.
3. and get other annoying default settings squared away so that I can start off smoothly.

It should be a fun time. I'll update when I begin my journey. =D
