I would have to agree with you Peter/ $PATH can get pretty ugly, and we all
know how well the man/HOWTO's are written.
I also think Slackware is prolly the best distro to start out with. With
most others, everything is done for you, and it doesn't really give the user
a chance to configure things, which I feel is important. Just my 2 cents.
