Some goals... while I'm thinking of it.

So far, right off the bat from my install, I have managed to get networking and sound up and running.

Here's what's currently on my hit list:
- figuring out why my internet connection can be slow or delayed
- getting my printer (Canon S750) to work PROPERLY, not just somewhat (I know it worked under Red Hat 7.3 *argh*)
- getting the scroll button/wheel on my mouse to work (I miss scrolling *sniff*) [UPDATE: Mission Accomplished!! See: It's the little things]
- being able to use my scanner (HP scanjet 2200c)
- being able to use my webcam (a Logitech something...)
- being able to access my new external DVD burner (Sony DRX-810UL)
- being able to access my photos/videos on my digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-P52)

There are a ba-zillion things to figure out. All sorts of software to update. I'm also planning to install the latest kernel to see if it improves on any hardware compability issues. We'll take that one very slowly, methinks.

I don't even know what software is on here, to be honest! So I'm just going on trying to use this "as normal" and try to figure out how to make something work if I need it (or switching to Windows XP if I'm short on time, patience, or otherwise know that it won't work).

Sounds like a long-term goal, this get comfy with Slackware thing, doesn't it?
