The first Slackware 9.0 release candidate Posted Mar 5, 2003 4:38 UTC (Wed) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] I know this might sound odd, but I just installed this on a Toshiba Portege.Every device in the laptop except for the Winmodem, just worked. And this is Slackware, which is not known exactly for holding your hand! I am very impressed. It took a little more tweaking to get the modem working (had to download a binary driver) and the video running full-speed (it defaulted to VESA), but the machine was very usable from the beginning. Great job.
