    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.

    I, for one, welcome our new Slackware 9.1 using overlords.

    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... :)

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

    That would make it a lot faster for us.
