Why just have self-healing servers? I would really like it if, when my box crashes, it reboots and fscks, if need be attracts my backup tapes to the DAT drive, restores the system, reconnects to its fellow servers and prints/pages/phones me a groveling apology.
Well, I wish anyway. But it would really be useful: although it would result in a loss of technical sector jobs, it would be cool never to have to reboot our machines manually.
This only applies to email, but since any decent mail program will happily scan emails and direct obvious trash to the bit-bucket, why should it bother us what is coming - what does it cost us? A few seconds of extra downloading.
The same almost applies to snail-mail... contrary to what some would have you believe, throwing paper in a bucket ain't that hard; people do it every day!

Slackware could attract new interest in the publisher; I can't believe they would throw free publicity away.
:)
It is the second greatest distro (after Debian)... My first go at linux was on some beta of Slackware 4... ahhh, the memories

NetBurst is in retail machines. IA64 has been running linux for over a year. Why such a big deal over AMD's attempts?
