The only time I've had trouble with Slack was at the very beginning... Mind you my beginning with Linux was back in '95.

The only other distro which has made me stand up and take notice has been SuSE; it's almost a totally different Linux than Slack -- built for the corporate environment -- but between setting up SuSE for people who don't want to know the nitty-gritty and then using Slack for myself to keep my edge (well and LFS for my CompactFlash firewalls), the rest of the distros can go to hell; they're either a less featureful version of SuSE or a gone-too-far vesion of Slack. :-)

Hehehe. Sadly your generalized commit is all so true.

If I find another pro Gentoo zealot on the BSD forums here I am going to have a physcotic episode!

GO USE GENTOO YOU DO NOT NEED BSD, we be ports too!.. bla bla bla bla....

Sigh.

Maybe us BSD users should revenge and do the same for every gentoo article.

Oh wait this is slashdot. Anything non pro Linux is modded as flamebait or troll. But agaisnt any other os its including bsd is ok.
