Yep, a quick start to LFS ;) I'm not worried about slackware going
away, since the source build scripts are all there and are simple
enough for one to maintain a system as far as updates go. And, as
Pat V. has indicated, there's a 'succession' plan in place...

Debian has a lot of future potential, and the apt-get is easy to
use, but dependency hell goes on and Ubuntu soured me on more Debian in
general.

Funny, I never figured out Debian, and the various derivatives Ubuntu,
Knoppix confuse me.

To the closet windows lovers just trolling...

I use both windoze and linux, I have FreeBSD on the laptop, it boots...

Depends what one's interests are with computing, having several boxen
about on a localnet does it for me ;) Longer term I'll break from windoze
as it is mainly used as desktop with PuTTY now, I'm still looking for a
decent linux email and news UA that can handle mailing lists and usenet
like I'm used to with this 'doze application I used for last ten years
or so.

I might run windoze in some VM over linux soon for some old win apps.

Grant.
