I spent two years with an employer, and was fired when I was asked to cover the work of someone fired first, without any extra compensation, and refused.
I didn't really mind, however. As easily replaceable as I was as an employee, they're equally disposable as an employer. I suppose that may not apply in all fields, but my experience in the corporate world is that someone will pay you to simply continue to do what you've always done.
From the Wikipedia article on Procol Harum:
Procol Harum are an English progressive rock band, formed in the 1960s. They are best known for their #1 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale", though they have had a devoted cult following throughout their career.
I realize the point being made, but the chosen example contains no rambling fanaticism.
Perhaps you should look at Arch Linux. It's fast, clean, and you won't have dependency problems. It's not because there aren't any, however, because that would be silly, as deps often help when installing a suite of applications, which can be troublesome on Slackware. Arch's Pacman will just grab the dependencies you need in a simple manner, and everything is up to date, without being patched gratuitously or named funny, as is the case in Ubuntu and other.deb sorts.
Most ads don't bother me at all. Doubleclick's domain, however, is blocked by adblock, due to some particularly tasteless use of flash in certain ads that they serve.
Is there any good reason why a user would need to change files outside of their home directories? Other than a cruddy setup done by a mediocre sysadmin, in which case they probably give users way to much freedom anyway, so it's not an issue until the whole system's taken out, and needs all sorts of messy work to have up again!
Damnit... I hate these things. Everytime someone in my neighborhood finds a new app like this my commection slows to a crawl. Why can't I just get off my ass and set up WEP?
They're probably being hired by M$ to make thier PCs run just as slow under Linux!
Really, most OEMs can't make good PCs to begin with, and it's only because, no matter what else is in it, anything no more than 256MB just can't cut it on a modern desktop.
My easy answer is simply to not use RPM. It's just not up-to-speed with Slack's package manager, Debian's package manager, Gentoo's portage system, or Arch Linux's pacman/abs thing, so let's just forget RPM ever happened and give a nice, old school, slightly obnoxious 'Long live.tar.gz!' cheer, and know that it just doesn't get any geekier than that!
I've used onboard Intel sound under Linux a few times, and I haven't had any problems. So, I guess you should try Arch Linux 0.6 then, and upgrade to the latest kernel, like I did, and everything should work, right?

Exactly.

Isn't it funny that the first post got modded 'Redundant'?
That makes you a hero in my book!

I care even less about Jack than I do about another silly game from Rockstar.

I know for a fact that Slackware doesn't. Otherwise, I'm outside the bounds of that hefty License it's under, using 2 CPUs right now.
