I have installed slackware on a computer and I am writing this message on it now.  Please help me cause my life is over.  Or it has just begun??

Your life has ceased to be.  You are currently in Limbo, as far as I can tell. Repent!

well I didn't think I had much of a choice.  I installed it on a 266 with 64 megs of ram.  it runs half decent although firefox is agonizingly slow.  I mainly installed it so I could use it as a VPN gateway into my network.  That is the next step.

I am surprised you got it to run x at all.  If stuff is really running slow, you might want to reinstall and just use command line.  Good luck.
