Dear /os/

For the longest time, I've always been sort of a linuxfag. Not a linux guru, but I loved the idea of having it around and learning how the operating system worked. A whole lot more hands-on than most other operating systems.

But, about 6 months ago, I got a macbook pro as a gift for College. This Mac operating system has treated me fairly well, but it's really boring. There's nothing to it. I feel like a retard could operate this thing with the same efficiency.

So I guess my questions to you are:

1. is it possible to use the "boot camp" to load a linux distro and the Mac OSX side by side and

2. Which distros do /os/ recommend? Before I was using ArchLinux, but I've been looking into Gentoo a bit and think that would be some fun as well. I'm not too sure about installing something like ubuntu, I feel that kind of defeats the reason why I liked using linux.

]]> http://www.711chan.org/os/res/1799.html#1803 i am dissapoint
Tried installing slackware 13.1 failed.
first i burned iso to dvd
booted
followed directions
partitioned drive into a 8gb swap partition a 7gb root partition a 10 gb usr partition and the rest was a partition for the home folder

i finish the rest of setup and begin installing packages

for some reason no matter what i do my computer shuts down in the middle of installing the packages sometimes it gets past all the packages in kdei sometimes it doesnt even get by the packages in ap or whatever. I even tried the install that prompted me for it but to no avail it shutdown randomly at 2 different spots ive never had this problem with ubuntu

TLDR:slackware 13.1 shutdown during installation of packages randomly

OP Here

thanks was thinking same thing but wasnt sure if the challenge of 64bit would be worth the benefits but now thanks to you im aware it wont hinder my system as soon as my system back up is done i will be removing ubuntu and windoze (will run it in virtualbox needed for starcraft) and install slackware 13.1

Can anyone recommend where to lrn2parition or should i just jump right in?

Also when im partitioning anyways should i create a seperate partition for my home folder as well?

inb4 lrn2google will be doing that as soon as im done with tweet just want to ask people with experience

i would start off with 32. there isn't a need for 64 yet unless you just want the challenge, because of the swap space, you can use more than 3.5g ram anyway.

and 32 is plenty fast enough.
if you need speed during compiling, learn to set concurrency levels. [http://its.goofyti.me/u/http://www.techienuggets.com/CommentDetail?tx=134336] other than that, everything should run smoothly.

hello /os/
i have been a linux user for a while (3years) however i havent strayed far from ubuntu or ubunut based oses and im bored/sick of it i want to move on. I have been told slackware is where i need to go to truly lrn2linux

TLDR:which should i pursue considering im beginner slakcware 32 or 64 with installed 32 packages

What i am asking you is should i go with the 32bit so i can lrn2linux or should i go straight for slackware64 and deal with having to install the 32 bit packages something that i am not aware of how to do

Install pacman on Ubuntu: TADA, you have Archlinux.
