Default Re: New to open source and linux..!

Vish, slackware moved over to 2.6.x long back. 11.0 shipped with 2.6.16 kernel if I remember right. Because 2.6 kernel has proven to be stable enough for slackware to consider moving to it.
And no, slackware doesn't require you to have great knowledge but rather curiosity to dig deeper.
If you just want to use for everyday stuff than suse, ubuntu, mandriva are really good and easy.
