    I haven't even touched Slack since the 5.x days. I think that it's time to get back to my roots.

    Troll! had you ever ran Slackware you'd know there were no 5.x releases!

    Go back under your bridge.

    Slackware forever. Honestly, what else would you trust when it absolutely positively has to be stable, secure, and easy

    It will be a tiny version of Debian called 'DE' and to please RMS I'll call it GNU/DE.
