I use Kubuntu. It fills your qualifications at any rate. As far as stability, I've found it to be just as stable as standard Ubuntu, but YMMV.

That won't work in ubuntu since it uses the sudo system. Root has no password by default. You'd have to do sudo su (or sudo -s) for that to work. Ubuntu 4.10 (warty) uses Xfree86 4.3.0. Ubuntu 5.04 (hoary) uses X.org 6.8.1

Also, you may want to try using a Hoary install CD. I'm not sure if your card is even supported with the 61.11 drivers shipped in warty. The reason that is there is to give instructions on how to add a launcher to the nvidia-settings program.

Isn't that a liveCD distro? I'm sure you could install it to the hard drive, but why not go with pure slack, or even better debian or a debian-based distro? BSD would be good too.

There's absolutely no reason to change the permissions on XF86Config-4. He merely needs to edit the file as root (or in the case of ubuntu, using sudo). su means switch user, not super user.

If AOL has a linux client, I suppose it is possible. I really don't know. P2P - bittorrent (several clients out there), dcgui (direct connect), nicotine, gIFT, aMule (edonkey/emule), and in the future Shareaza will be ported (port is in the works). There's probably plenty of others out there.

I'm just speaking in an out of the box sense. Of course any distro will do after you tweak it.

Ah, so you want to fry eggs with your computer. Okay...

For that system I recommend Beatrix, a ubuntu-based distro. Your system lacks enough RAM to run a full blown ubuntu desktop well imho.

I like XFCE. It's everything I want in a desktop environment. http://img221.exs.cx/img221/4492/desktop2eh.jpg

Regular user on ubuntu. I don't use windows.

Warty still uses Xfree86. Hoary uses X.org

Actually, you should be able to get 3D with the ATI fglrx drivers.

Here's another good place to get a good idea of what packages ubuntu has. http://higgs.djpig.de/ubuntu/www/
