Let us stay on the NAS/Raid issue. I am (still!) rebuilding my old file structure after having mdadm-assembled the old disks on SMS. My issue is, speed. It is way TOO slow. I knew it would be so, and ... |

I wish a basic GUI with Fluxbox as main WM was offered as an option in addition to (1) pure text and (2) KDE. Indeed I have trouble understanding the Slackware concept of a KISS system with an anti-KI ... |
