Sorry, I put a small g in SubGenius, may Bob forgive me!
You must quit smoking cigarettes, they are bad for you. Try smoking habafropzipulops instead, then you can join.

I concur. What's the point!? Slackware does it all; just enjoy it It's a healthy addiction, and that's a rarity.

That's probably why I've done so much distrohopping - a shortage of habafropzipulops. Halleluyah! I was once a sinful distrohoppiphiliac but now I'm a Sanctified Slacker!!!!

I think my addiction started around 10.0. I figured, "What could it hurt?" Before you know it, I had it on all my computers. Sure, I tried other distros, but none of them seemed right. There was a stretch of time when I was reformatting about once a week just to put Slack back on. I have now grown to embrace my addiction.

Believe me, it never stops. I started in 1994. I use other systems, but the love for Slackware always stays. I have tried to resist many times.

Hi,

I look at Slackware as a labor of 'Love' not an addiction.
