Agreed. I'm a recent RedHat convert. My personal system runs 5.0, as
does a network file/print/internet server down the hall. However, I
*still* have Slackware 3.3 running on our internet server across campus,
because a) you don't f*&k with a working system, b) it's so hacked
together with duct tape I don't even want to think about it.
I now enjoy RedHat's way of doing things, but there was a time when
Slackware was what I *wanted* to run. On my laptop, I still do, if only
because it's a "hacker" machine that I play with, as opposed to my
desktop, which should be functional most of the time.
Slackware has merits. And the last thing we need is divisiveness (sp?)
in an already way to fragmented community.
