"Considering oil is a non-renewable source" - You do know that millions of gallons of oil is currently being created in the ground right now as you type that. Oil creation is ALWAYS happening. It will continue to be created even after we stop using it.
Slackware has several OFFICIAL package managers and about half-dozen 3rd party. Slackware's PMs are BETTER than Debian's or RH's..
Do the OFFICIAL PMs auto dependency resolve? No. but- 1) The 3rd party PMs do. and 2) I've never had a Slackbox hosed-up by a package upgrade because the auto-dependancy upgraded something that didn't work with something else.
Do the Official Slackware PMs allow repositories? Yes. (slackpkg+)
Do the Slackware PMs have a cool GUI that I can just click? yes/no... The official PMs have curses interfaces (but no clicky). There's some 3rd party PMs that have a GUI.
I keep hearing how Debian/RedHat/Your_distro_of_choice has a better package manager than Slackware but, having used them all, it's total Bullshit.
Tell me, what does Debian's PM do that's so much better than Slackware's?
Oracle and IBM are big but they are only half-hearted into making a Linux Distro. In the enterprise world, RedHat is the Big Cheese. RedHat has no reason to not use systemd because they are using to to force the Linux world into doing things that make their (RedHat's) life easier.
THE ONLY foreseeable way systemd ever will have a chance to die is if Debian did a 180 and quit using it. Debian is the only distro big enough to take on RedHat.
systemd is the Linux version of one of the main problems with windows. It could have been written to be a drop in replacement for _your_init_system_here__ and play nice with existing Unix ecosystems but it wasn't. It's designed to be a "F-U, we're making it solely to benefit us (RedHat) and the way we want to do stuff".
I'm tired of hearing how the old init system "needs improvement" or "just can't hack it in the modern world"... I use Slackware so BSD RC init is how we do things... BIG CLUE HERE: THEY'RE ALL BASH SCRIPTS, YOU CAN EDIT THEM TO ACT HOWEVER YOU LIKE!!!!!
Don't like that things don't start in parallel? Change your init script to bring up the absolute necessities first and then ADD A BUNCH OF "&" to the rest of your script tasks!!!!
Don't like how NFS 'locks up the machine when not available during boot? Change your init script to NOT MOUNT NFS at boot and add lines to your RC.LOCAL to add the mounts later.
The old system is plain old text human readable BASH SCRIPTS! Change what you don't like! Don't use this binary POS systemd!
"but servers that don't boot, that don't reboot or systemd-resolved that constantly interferes with our core network configuration made it too expensive to run Debian or Ubuntu."
PRO TIP: Run Slackware. Slackware is cleaner and does everything Debian does and has never been tainted with systemd.
That's news to me... I'm watching about 2000 machines all running all sorts of close-source stuff with equivalent (and sometimes better) open-source stuff is available. Example: Oracle LDAP

It's called “structuring”.
THAT'S how you get arrested in the US for money laundering (even if you're not laundering money).
You do realise that the first stage (the heavy lifter) used [gasp] kerosene[gasp] because there's far more energy in 'fossil fuels' than in hydrogen.
And the space shuttle REQUIRED two solid boosters to lift it and that huge tank of hydrogen (again because there's not much energy in hydrogen).

More of a tangible currency than BC.
Paper Tape - As long as you don't damage it, it will never suffer data loss.
that means that the stolen property had been recovered by the police but the legal owner (NASA) never bothered to come and pick it up.
Therefore the government (state or local) sold it at auction. It belongs to the woman.
Then why doesn't Mr Billionaire pay for it?

Yeah, you're wrong... The Linux admins are far better at their job than the Solaris (and shudder HP-UX) admins.
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE WINDOW GUYS!

You can't just skip over Linux ME, Linux 2000, Linux Vista, Linux XP and Linux 8!
"We aren't looking for something that hasn't really changed much since 1997." AND THAT proves you have no idea what you're talking about.
Slackware uses BSD inits so, you can have the BSD inits AND Linux code base. WIN WIN!
Stop using crap distros with do-everything-in-one apps, sym-link-hells and all!!!
Every single complaint is covered by Slackware's simplicity.
