Christopher:
I too have distroyed my uptime to play with Slax. I almost feel out of chair 
when KDE booted and I got the intro sound. It impressed me. I have a Logitech 
4000 pro USB web cam and most Linux distrobutions I have used have sound 
broken because of the USB system starting up first and the Web Cam 
michrophone takeing over sound slot0. But not Slax, it was very impressive to 
me. But am not too sure that all the applications I need such as Gramps 
(geneology program), kmymoney2, gaim, kopete, and kaffiene (with wma codecs), 
bibletime etc are available in a easy to install from repsitory.
I favor a install once and constantly update type of distro. 
Slack and its dirivates are on my radar scope, as well as kanotix (debian 
based and most applications available, but out of date, updating could 
break), Ark (installer needs major work, and multimedia broken (DMCA, and 
developers will not help get it working), OnebaseGo nice (but sound broken on 
install and work around I do does not work and developers show no interest in 
bugzilla report or fixing, limited apps also).
I may have a worng attitude but, I want multimedia to work in my Linux Boxes. 
Until my denomination see the lite, I need wma files to be run able. Besides 
I have paid more than my fair share in taxes to Redmond.
