I don't blog that often. To date I have not had a blog! I do read some blogs but the composition along with grammar tends to turn me off. Add in spelling, netspeak or AOL type entries and you will loose me.

I work with the 'Slackware-Links' wiki. More than just SlackwareŽ links! This wiki has been a interesting creation. To date it requires a lot of my time. I do hope it provides useful tools, links and even GNU/Linux to the multiple users.

Those who know me via the LQ forums or even privately know that I believe in ethics and morality. I'm no goody two shoes but I do believe we lead by examples.

If you happen to read or participate at the LQ SlackwareŽ forum you will see my steadfast opinion is constant. Today I have had a very interesting thread with posts which has opened a can of worms for arny@arny.ro (author/plagiarist for BW64) a parasitic copy of SlackwareŽ. I have peruse the BW64 releases and have found a lot of plagiarism on the part of arny and crew. I believe arny thinks it's ok to just copy everything then 'sed' 'BlueWhite64' to replace 'SlackwareŽ' then release a distribution. The copyright and even trademark violations along with the GNU/GPL blessings he can ethically and morally distribute BW64. For one the copyright infringements are there. The full GNU/GPL license has several violations as I understand the GNU/GPL. I'm no lawyer but the license is not that complicated. The copyright is another story all together in it's own. The trademark errors have been corrected or so it seems. I really don't want to spend that much time in defending SlackwareŽ infringements. You will notice that I link a lot of the $.50 words. This is so that parties don't get confused. Some people don't use English(U.S.) as there primary or even second language. I too mangle sometimes but I do attempt to be proper along with understanding.

I've got mouths to feed! 6 of them. They eat hay. If you read my bio you will see that I have horses. ]]> onebuck http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1652
