You're one of those people that stops people laughing at a joke by admitting to some sick personal fetish at a party, aren't you? I can practically hear the humor being sucked out of the air while reading your post. I mean it's not often you see comedy that's more dead than Leno's Clinton jokes, but wow...you've managed to create a fucking rotting corpse here.

and that's its failing. I used to love kde until they fouled it up with release. 4. That's when I switched to fedora core 12, now fc13 uses kde so I switched over to Ubuntu just today and WOW blown away really. It's the most polished human friendly awesome thing I've ever had the pleasure of using - the missing link of OS'

But...

Better than Gentoo?

But give a man Slackware, and he'll learn Linux.

You misquoted, I think. It should probably be: Give a man Slackware, and he'll go right back to Microsoft. Good lord those were terrible experiences the two or three times I tried Slasckware. Granted, that was years ago, and I'm sure it's come a long way.

Or: Give a man Linux Mint and he can get shit done without having to worry about learning every last detail about how and why his expensive tool occasionally works and usually doesn't work; it just works.
