I joined this list the same day I got this laptop, so I have been a
member for a couple of months now. I just lurk mostly, learning more and
more about this machine. I now have a 2.6 kernel on it and running
slack. sound hasn't been found and I will work on that and wifi. I am
use to Debian based distros. How do you upgrade slack to keep it
current. I know I should be googling to find these answers, but I am
tired and just want to know LOL
