Hundreds of updated to the current tree in the last few months have had all the slackers drooling, and now it is almost upon us. Now, I don't want to hear any more talk of Slackware being dead.

    Did anyone read that report explaining that Slackware now has fewer users than BSD -- somewhere in the region of 2 to 4 of them?

    man all these terror alerts are starting to piss me off.

    I wake up every morning hoping our muslim friends have dismissed another large batch of capitalist pigs to hell, but i check the news and nothing happened.

    If a bunch of capitalist exploiters don't die in huge attack soon i'm gonna be pissed.
