      Wow. That's the first time anyone ever referred to me as an "overlord". Now fetch me some refreshment, peasant.

      I could get used to this... :)

    I think you slackware fanatics are still living in the dark ages when the only matured linux distribution used to be slackware. WAKE UP and see the real world.


    On behalf of all Slackware users, I apologise for using a distribution that you don't deem worthy of existing in the real world. What are we thinking? How can we use a distro that you personally don't approve of. We'll be sure to seek your approval in the future.

    In case you missed it, you're an arsehole. Grow up.

    I suggest you save this joke for the next Mandrake of Redhat release. It doesn't fit so well with Slackware, Debian Stable, or SuSE.

    Perhaps Microsoft will catch on and release official torrents for Windows from now on :)

    That would make it a lot faster for us.
