2) Slackware users are not the Ximian GNOME target market. Slackware users are frequently console users, compilers-from-scratch, and knowers of their own dependency trees. This is excellent for them. They don't need Ximian GNOME, so we're not really there for them.
This is total bullshit! If this was true, then why do Slackware include GNOME with their distro? So all those console users can study the GNOME dependency trees in case they have to administer some RedHat or Debian boxes? And why has Slackware produced BigSlack which has converted many Windows GUI addicts over to Linux (yes, I know several examples personally).
If Ximian choose to only support distros affiliated with questionable sexual orientations, like RedHat and Debian, and not even provide some form of minimal Slackware support (even as a token jesture to the one true distro, if only in a historical sense) - which wouldn't be a very difficult task for them - then it is really quite disappointing.
Bah! What does it matter anyway. I don't even use Ximian or any of that fag GUI shit. Yep, I'm a console man myself.
No doubt the Slackware support for Ximian will still be crap and verging on non-existent.
When installing Ximian on Slackware, a kludge must be employed whereby one creates a file called 'redhat-release' in/etc so as to fool the Ximian installer into thinking that you're running RedHat.
Should you choose to try to install from sources, then you must be prepared for something to invariably go wrong.
I honestly think that the lack of Slackware support in Ximian, and their blatent preference for RedHat, is completely anti-OSS and very reminiscent of one Microsoft.
The AI for 'Black & White' pales in comparison to the genius of AILOG used in the mind-blowing BATTLECRUISER 3000AD.
Yes! AILOG! The advanced neural net engine used to realise the limitless gaming multi-verses flowing from the imagination of the maverick games programmer Dr. Derek Smart, Ph.D, a genius of the first rank.
AILOG - the most advanced AI engine ever used in a game - combines the sum of the last 40 years of European and Japanese artificial intelligence research. Dr. Smart, Ph.D has encapsulated the most bleeding edge, advanced AI concepts from across the globe.
The birth of AILOG, however, was not without a great deal of pain. In a fit of creative rage, Dr. Smart, Ph.D violently ravaged a Coke machine, but it was a small price to pay for the insemination of the most advanced AI engine ever seen on the desktops of hungry gamers all around the world.
