Hello. After reading some of the feedback on the forums, and listening to my friend, I realize that Slackware is designed to be a very, very stable distro. With that in mind, I am a bit more reluctant to try the new, and not so stable, KDE 4. I have decided that it will be best to test KDE 4 towards the LATTER end of this 30 day trek across my computer. Also, in response to some more feedback I received on the forums, I have the latest Slackware 12.1 installed with the last stable release of KDE (3.5.9 is it?). As I stated earlier, I need to get a few things settled before the 30 days can begin (note how the entry is .25 not an integer).
Thanks for all the marvelous feedback on the forums to help guide me on my quest!

Good luck on your experiment. You will find the crew at LQ invaluable in your journey. Keep in mind though that Slackware is not (and never has been) a distro designed to be completely point and click with shiny GUI's for all tasks. It is designed to put full control of the system into the hands of the installer--whether the installer uses that power to make it hum or break it :-) Slackware IS however, the most stable system you will install once you get it completely set up and running on your specific rig.
