    Does Slackware come with GUI?

    I was planning to install Slackware Linux, but I wasn't sure if it comes with GUI or not. I've never been able to (successfully) install desktop environment from command line, so I would like to know this before I spend 4 hours downloading Slackware DVD.

    I can vouch for SalixOS too! It's simple enough for this little farm girl to figure out, and has a nice GUI called "Xfce desktop." The even call it the distro "for lazy Slackers!"

    Knowing you'll love it,
