OTB's YouTube Channel Retired


I have just found out today that OTB's channel has been retired due to health reasons. I just want to express my sincere gratitude for the videos that were posted and the time that was taken to cover Slackware. The only thing I can say is that the channel will be missed and I will be hopeful for another video in the future. Thank You.

Thanks all, unfortunately this isn’t something I have much control over. I’m sorry to say it’s terminal cancer and I’ve reached past the stage where I’m able to put a video together. Hopefully someone else will start to do Slackware based content

I have two words, "Fuck Cancer!"

I lost my father to stage 4 lung cancer less than two weeks ago, so hearing this hits pretty close to home. Make the most of your remaining "good days" in whatever way brings you joy, and thank you for your "content" which many folk have enjoyed watching.
